Electron package Typescript starting point

[MikesGlitch]

Sets up the desktop-electron package to use typescript. #1483

Main changes:

• Typescript build using tsc, builds to the "build" folder
• client-build folder is moved to the "build" folder rather than the root
• html needs copied manually into the build folder due to tsc only dealing with typescirpt/js - using copyfiles

I haven't typed everything - I'm putting in the starting point in this PR.

The next step is to go through the electron files and convert them to typescript.

• Tested on Linux and Windows

Deleted old client-build folder and re-ran the build script. Now it's passing. Interesting.. possibly correlated?

[MatissJanis]

Ok, cannot reproduce anymore. Works great 👍

So only one comment on the PR and then we can merge :)
