Description

I think it will be very nice to give a syntax error when there is a syntax error in triple slash

For example

/// <reference patj="file1.ts"/> => a syntax error that triple slash syntax

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the TypeScript parser code handling triple slash directives (e.g., `parseTripleSlashDirective`). Find where the path attribute is validated and add a syntax error for invalid patterns like a typo in the attribute name.
