[Feature] alias option for path Resolve about esbuild HOT 4 CLOSED

I think this issue can be considered fixed now that #60 has been implemented. You can now use paths in tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json to specify path aliases.

@evanw I would like to mention that some people use jsconfig.json instead of tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "baseUrl": "./src",
        "paths": {
            "view/*": ["view/*"],
            "common/*": ["common/*"]
        }
    }
}

Thanks for logging this. It's something I do want to support, although it'll likely be in more of a data-driven way than using JavaScript code to set up the aliases, since this project isn't written in JavaScript.

Potential ways I'm considering doing this are either the alias field in package.json like Parcel does and/or the paths field in tsconfig.json for TypeScript code (see #60).

Someone just opened a PR for jsconfig.json support: #132 (just posting here to link these two issues together).
