Previously, if your tsconfig.json file contained a comment (allowed by the
TS compiler) the ts-import-types-cli would throw the following error:

ts-import-types-cli --project /myproject/tsconfig.json is not a tsconfig.json file

This is because the node require function can only parse valid
(commentless) JSON.

This PR swaps out the use of require in favor of directly reading
the file contents, stripping all comments, and only then parsing it
to confirm that it is valid JSON.

Hopefully this will save other users some confusion!
