feat(emacs): support TypeScript in Flymake plugin

Use --language=experimental-default in the Flymake plugin so
quick-lint-js parses .ts files as TypeScript files. To make this work
with --stdin, use --stdin-path as well.

 * TypeScript support (still experimental):
   * CLI: The new `--language=experimental-default` option auto-detects the
     language based on the file's extension (`.ts`, `.tsx`, `.d.ts`, or `.js`).
+  * Emacs: Flymake plugin users can now opt into TypeScript support. See the
+    [Flymake configuration instructions][emacs-configure-flymake].
   * Class method overload signatures are now parsed.
   * [E0398][] is now reported when using both `abstract` and `static` on a
     single class property.
