Add TypeScript type-checking to all rules

We don't need to convert our JavaScript files to TypeScript, but by adding JSDoc comments with types and using the TypeScript checkJs option, we can get the benefits of type-checking. See this PR for an example and list of benefits: square/eslint-plugin-square#723.

I'm on board in principle, but I would want to make sure the developer burden is not significantly increased.

I skimmed the PR but need to look through it more thoroughly.

@bmish Finally coming back to this... I'm open to this but I have one question. How do we ensure that type info (in doc comments) is added for new code/types? And are there ways to auto-generate at least some of those so the dev experience isn't too annoying?
