Create types using tsconfig.json

[esanzgar]

Problem: the tsc command that generate the type declaration didn't
include all the options used for type checking the project.

Solution: use tsc --build command for both, type checking, and the
generation of the type declaration.

I can confirm that building the package with these settings fixes the problematic typing for the selectedItem prop on the Table component, and that linking my local lms branch against a build of this eliminates the TS error I was encountering earlier today on that prop.

I'm not certain if there are other things I should keep an eye out for, or other risks raised by this change, but from what I can see here, it looks like it does what it is supposed to!

The only minor difference regarding this change is that checking the types with make lint will generate type declarations. Before this change, it didn't do that. I tried to avoid that but I couldn't easily, but I think we can live with that.

There is actually a way to avoid generating type declaration when checking the types. It involves having two tsconfig.json one that extends from the other. I think the previous solution is good enough.
