[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#996200: node-inquirer: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
node-inquirer could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it includes a number of .tsbuildinfo files that vary
between the build environment: including (but possibly not limited to)
if/when usrmerge is enabled.

According to various bits of online documentation, these files are not
necessary, so a patch is attached that deletes them. (I couldn't get
--noEmit to work?)
