Use a relative path devDependency on antlr4ts-cli, that's cleaner.
Add steps to cleanup any npm global mess made before.
Added 'npm run reinstall' script for clean-up of truly ugly problems.
Note: reinstall involves a 'git purge -idx'.   It asks permission...

Workaround for #458

Disentangle imports / directory reorg
Makes antlr4ts more like the other ANTLR4 target directory structure
Build process now split out for packages, with each getting it's own package.json, and tsconfig.json.   Eliminate relative path imports anywhere outside the src/ directory.
checking in .d.ts files to track any api changes

Note: currently TypeScript v3.x is problematic in this context,
but 2.9 is OK

Implements suggestion in PR #454

Version 3.8.3 generates errors that don't seem right, so 3.7.5 it is.

Getting to V3.x gets us the new project build mode, which is a big win in terms of build time.   tsc will use tsconfig.tsbuildinfo files to manage an incremental compile which can really speed up many situations.  Switches used on tsc commands change for this mode.

One copy of the compiler, set in --watch mode, and watch the entire directory tree, performing compiles on change even if different parts of the tree uses different settings.

Making this work right requires a change in import statments.   None of them should ever reference the "src" directory, if needed use "dist" instead.

To run antlr, we use the `lerna run antlr` command.   Any package that has an antlr script is run, lerna controls the ordering based on dependencies declared in the package.json files.

The typescript compiler has multi-package build-in (in V3+).  Combined
with a new incremetal compile feature, this is a big time savings.
