Description

We now have --init support to generating a default tsconfig.json file (see #4037). Editors would need to expose a functionality that uses this, possibly passing a set of additional defaults based on their scenario. we need to expose this as a Language Service API as well as a tsserver command. see @jrieken's comment in https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/4037#issuecomment-135056980

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing init implementation in PR #4037, understand the tsserver command structure, and then implement a new tsserver command that invokes the init functionality with optional additional defaults.
