[Juggler] Migrate Connectors to TypeScript

[kjdelisle]

Overview

This epic is about migrating all of the connector modules to TypeScript.

Ideally, the connectors should have been migrated to juggler monorepo first, see #890

When importing existing codebase(s) to the new monorepo, it's important to use lerna import (docs) to preserve git history.

Connectors To Migrate

• loopback-connector-cassandra
• loopback-connector-cloudant
• loopback-connector-couchdb2
• loopback-connector-dashdb
• loopback-connector-db2
• loopback-connector-db2iseries
• loopback-connector-db2z
• loopback-connector-grpc
• loopback-connector-informix
• loopback-connector-jsonrpc
• loopback-connector-kv-extreme-scale
• loopback-connector-kv-redis

FYI - loopback-connector-zosconnectee is done by another team. If we're planning to migrate the connectors to TypeScript, we should let them know - whether it is a must to migrate to TS, what are the consequences if not migrating, etc.

How can outside contributors help with this?

For example, if you guys have set up the mono repository and port exists repositories,
I'll glad to submit PRs to jsonrpc connector at first.

@coderhaoxin PRs from community contributors are welcome! Feel free to open a PR converting the jsonrpc connector to TypeScript and we'll be happy to review / get it landed.
