TypeScript: faster builds

[johnnyreilly]

This isn't a bug report - more a heads up. There's a new feature been added to the fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin (which I believe CRA uses for TypeScript builds). This feature speeds up incremental compilation.

More details can be found here:

Would you consider upgrading to this for the performance improvement?

We would absolutely consider upgrading. This would go nicely with #5903
