[IMPROVE] Rewrite gulpfile in typescript

[aditya-mitra]

What? :boat:

Closes #393

1. Added: -gulpfile.ts,

• npm type definitions for gulp, gulp-bump and gulp-sourcemaps
• gupfile.d.ts for those modules which did not have type definitions found in npm

2. Updated:

• replaced CommonJS require with ES6 import statements in gulpfile.ts
• correction of buffer to be converted to string while doing JSON.parse

3. Removed:

• gulpfile.js

Why? :thinking:

Since most of the codebase of Rocket.Chat.Apps-engine is written in typescript, it would be nicer if we could write gulpfile also in typescript. smiley

Hi, The compilation is passing locally but failing on CircleCI. (I even tried this on a fresh GitPod instance and it was working)

What is the reason for this problem?
