LSP doesn't support references in tsconfig

[nicholaides]

Here are some quick steps to reproduce. If I had more time I'd provide a more stripped-down example.

1. Make a new app from a vite template. The react-ts template sets up an app that uses tsconfig files with references.

yarn create vite my-app --template react-ts
cd my-app
yarn

2. Open it in VSCode and open ./src/main.tsx. You'll see this error:

Cannot find name 'document'. Do you need to change your target library? Try changing the 'lib' compiler option to include 'dom'.typescript(2584)

❗ This issue does not show up when the civet VSCode extension is disabled.

3. Be confused because ./tsconfig.app.json does include the dom in the lib compiler option and no changes to ./tsconfig.app.json seem to have any effect.

4. Fix the problem by moving ./tsconfig.app.json to ./src/tsconfig.json and updating reference to it in ./tsconfig.json

5. Open ./src/main.tsx and observe the problem is fixed. (there are other problems, but those can be addressed by updating civet config and/or ./src/tsconfig.json.)

Thanks for the report! I'll need to study exactly how references is supposed to work. If you (or anyone else) has cycles to work on this, it'd be much appreciated.

I wish I did have free cycles to dig in. I was mostly filing the issue to document it for the next person who runs into the problem.
