Migrate to using .ng-dev directory for ng-dev configuration to better
allow management of the configuration using multiple files. The
intention is to prevent the config file from becoming unruly.
PR Close#37142
We recently added support for automatic registration of `ts-node`
when the dev-infra configuration is loaded.
In addition to registering ts-node, we should also ensure that the
`commonjs` module is set up. By default, `ts-node` would use ES module
imports that are not supported by default in NodeJS.

`ts-node` is now an optional peer dependency of the shared dev-infra
package. Whenever a `ng-dev` command runs, and a TypeScript-based
configuration file exists, `ts-node` is set up if available.
That allows consumers of the package (as the components repo) to more
conveniently use a TypeScript-based configuration for dev-infra.
Currently, commands would need to be proxied through `ts-node`
which rather complicates the setup:
```
NG_DEV_COMMAND="ts-node ./node_modules/@angular/dev-infra-private/cli.js"
```
I'm thinking that it should be best-practice to use TypeScript for
writing the configuration files. Given that the tool is used primarily
in Angular projects (for which most sources are TypeScript), this should
be acceptable.

Integrates the merge script into the `ng-dev` CLI. The goal is that
caretakers can run the same command across repositories to merge a pull
request. The command is as followed: `yarn ng-dev pr merge <number>`.

Adds the gitub configuration to the ng-dev configuration. This github
configuration provides information needed for making API requests to
github. Upcoming tooling related PRs will require these API requests
being possible.

Adds a gitub object to the common configuration for ng-dev. This github
configuration provides information needed for making API requests to
github.

Introduces infrastructure to validate configuration of the ng-dev
command at run time. Allowing for errors to be returned to the
user running the command.

Previously ng-dev loaded the config through a javascript file, this
change allows for the loaded file to be either javascript or
typescript. This enables configurations to be written with type
safety.
PR Close#37017
Migrating to a js file for providing a configuration allows for more
extensive configuration at run time. This allows for configs to include
logic and move beyond static values found in JSON files.
PR Close#36918
Create a common config file loading utility function and the
necessary util directory. This util directory can provide common
utility functions for usage inside of the dev-infra package.
