TypeScript: target is es2018

See original GitHub issue

HonKit support Node.js LTS - Node.js 10+.

https://github.com/nodejs/Release

So, we need to change tsconfig.json’s target to es2018 or es2017. (Node.js 10 does not suppor ES2019) https://github.com/honkit/honkit/blob/b9267fcd5888e8c25750413f7a36a43a4481c5be/tsconfig.json#L3

https://node.green/#ES2017 https://node.green/#ES2018

It is part of TypeScript migration #24 .

📝 Currently, HonKit code does not use ES2019 features and it is not problem. Also, TypeScript only transpile syntax.
