suggestion: update ts-node to version 10

[benatshippabo]

Issue description

Currently we are using version 9 for ts-node

ts-node-dev/package.json

Line 53 in d2b7ec1

"ts-node": "^9.0.0",

however version 10 comes with a few performance enhancements by enabling users to specify a third party TypeScript compiler like swc so it would be nice to have these options in ts-node-dev as well.

Context

• Swc support for faster transpilation TypeStrong/ts-node#779
• https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/releases/tag/v10.0.0

Any update on this? What needs to happen to do this? We would benefit a lot from being able to use other transpilers.

@dbousamra There is also a duplicate ticket #286. I don't really see any breaking changes for ts-node >= 10.0.0 so I think it should be an easy pull request.

Some of the api has been deprecated, so we need to figure out how to handle:

1. tsnode.split
2. tsnode.DEFAULTS

I'm not sure how the options for ts-node-dev are forwarded though (maybe @wclr could chime in), so we may need to add one in for --transpiler.

Some alternatives I found for TypeScript development is vite and this plugin https://github.com/axe-me/vite-plugin-node
