- `@appium/gulp-plugins` does not use `tsc` and continues to use...whatever it uses.
- `@appium/doctor` now has generated declarations, though I didn't bother to do anything with the types
- rewrote swaths of build scripts:
- removed the `fix` and `lint` scripts from each workspace (package) since I don't think they get used and they are of limited value
- for tests and autoinstallation of extensions, added `ts-node` for on-the-fly compilation
- workspaces _can_ define their own `build` and `clean` scripts (both should be required if either is used). these do not currently get run when running `npm run dev`, but they do occur on a bare `npm install` from the monorepo root or a `npm run reinstall`.
- `npm run rebuild` does a fresh rebuild, but does not clean any `node_modules` dirs nor does it reinstall anything.
- removed `prepublishOnly` since `preversion` does the same thing
- `npm test` now runs `build`/`lint` in parallel
- postinstall script of `appium` ("autoinstall") script now must call `npm run build` if in a fresh dev environment. this is because a) lifecycle scripts of packages run before lifecycle scripts in the monorepo root, and b) `postinstall` runs before `prepare`. so there's really no way around it; even using `ts-node` fails because other modules depend on `@appium/support/index.js` which expects the pkg to be built.
