use tsc build mode + eslint

1. use tsc build mode

Packages are built in topological order, one after the other. Typescript
recently added a "build" mode, that allows us to somewhat link all the
packages together into one compilation step, speeding up compilation
time. This commit makes use of this by rewiring the monorepo to use
tsc build and incremental mode.

Reworked a few scripts to accomodate with the new build method.

2. replace tslint with eslint

Convert most tslint rules to eslint, changed most inline comments in the
sources as well. Some tslint rules still work, hence why you will be
able to see `// tslint` comments.

Unfortunately, there is an outstanding issue regarding eslint
performance on large typescript monorepos, so we should fallback to
linting all packages individually until this is fixed.
