ts-node by default does not respect the `files` setting in `tsconfig.json`
and therefore does not respect the d.ts file under `types/`.
This commit adds an explicit `typeRoots` option, as recommended by

TypeScript considers null and undefined as fine for all variable by
default. This patch enables `strictNullChecks`, which should cause
errors to be thrown as soon as a variable is null or undefined without
having it explicitly decleared for itself.[1]
