Proposal for typescript definition file

[relu91]

I finally found a solution to have our typescript definition file work both in module and no-module environments. Practically this means that tsc will validate both of those code snippets:

WoT.produce(td).then((thing:WoT.ExposedThing)=>{/*...*/});

import {produce,ExposedThing} from "WoT";
produce(td).then((thing:ExposedThing)=>{/*...*/});

As a example the first one might be written inside WoT scripts (which may not support a module system) and the latter for runtimes who want to use node-wot as a library.

Since I had to format the file it is quite difficult to undestand the change. Essentially I changed the declaration of the namespace from export as namespace WoT; to:

declare namespace WoT {
/* declarations */
}

Finally I exposed every field in the namespace as a module with the following:

declare module "WoT" {
    export = WoT;
}

I created a PR since I think this is the final solution.

Fixes #215 .

I published it as "0.8.0-SNAPSHOT.2" on npm.

Moreover, I also updated v0.8.x branch of node-wot but I did run into issues like

src/thing-description.ts(17,22): error TS2306: File 'C:/Projects/WoT/thingweb/thingweb.node-wot/packages/td-tools/node_modules/wot-typescript-definitions/index.d.ts' is not a module.

Currently we use the following which does not work anymore.

import * as WoT from "wot-typescript-definitions";

@relu91 Can you let me know how it is assumed to work. Thanks!

Note: The TS definitions still miss the new Subscription (I will add/update once the issues are resolved).
