1872918 - Generate typescript declarations lib from xpidl

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, task)

Description

[Tomislav Jovanovic :zombie]

Json we generate for *.xpt files has information that's pretty close to what we would need, but is missing some details. Instead of extending that, Nika suggested it's probably better to have a separate emitter.

Unsure where and how to store this as part of the build,
so for now I kept it as a manual step.

Depends on D197618

This actually needs to be in a specific place under node_modules, to be
picked up as a replacement dom lib, since it clashes with the lib.dom
that ships with ts.
