Add experimental support for the jsc.experimental.emitIsolatedDts feature to output .d.ts instead of .js.

Cool, seems like an obvious next step

js_outs = _swc_lib.calculate_js_outs(srcs, out_dir, root_dir)
map_outs = _swc_lib.calculate_map_outs(srcs, source_maps, out_dir, root_dir)
if kwargs.get("experimental_emit_isolated_dts", False):
dts_outs = _swc_lib.calculate_dts_outs(srcs, out_dir, root_dir)

can it produce d.ts.map files too, like tsc does?

From what I can find it seems like swc can do one or the other right now, not both. If you pass --out-file more then once it's an error, if you don't pass it at all it outputs only the .js to stdout instead...

Wait, I read that wrong... I meant it can't produce .js and .d.ts, I'll look into .d.ts.map more

Did you consider whether or not this ought to have the experimental_ prefix? When swc changes their flag, will we also change our attribute name? That will be breaking, right?

I want to be able to make breaking changes to this still so I figured putting experimental_ right in the API is a good way to do that for now. Then it will be breaking when we rename to make it stable and we'll have to keep it non-breaking from that point forward.

We've never had an attribute prefixed with experimental_ before, and never wrote that it's not public API. I guess it's a fine convention, just surprised that we invent a new one so many years in.

Perhaps it should be exposed as a separate rule instead? Doesn't need to mean copy-paste of code, probably 95% reused in a lib.

I could also put EXPERIMENTAL in the docs I guess, but I don't want this to be considered a stable public API at this point. I guess I was partially just following the jsc.experimental.emitIsolatedDts swc property 🤷

Also please link to SWC docs or discussion threads about the feature to save the reader some effort in researching this new capability

There really is no documentation at the moment other then the commit in the changelog: https://github.com/swc-project/swc/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#164---2024-06-22

I assume you tested that --config-file foo --config-json '{"some": "object"}' has the desired behavior of overriding the file?

What happens if the user also gives a --config-json in the args they provide?

Also would be good to comment if there's an ordering constraint between these two flags

These are a few things that I think need more testing, both here and our other --config-json cases (see plugins).

Note that we could also go the route where if experimental_emit_isolated_dts = True then we assume you set this emitIsolatedDts flag yourself, then maybe add some "validation" in the future like tsc does.

IMO if --config-json merges+overwrites the existing config then I prefer this instead of requiring validation, but both have trade-offs.

I think we're blocked for now on swc-project/swc#9512 if I'm understanding correctly. The way we invoke the cli using --out-file doesn't work with the swc cli atm.
