Feature/tsc init clean

[dcavalcante]

Fixes #46150

Proposes a custom Init option to tsc (parsed similarly to jsxOptions) that accepts a tsc --init clean parameter which outputs a tsconfig.json file without unwanted comments, while keeping the previous tsc --init working as is.

The reasoning behind this, besides implementing a requested feature, is because using a custom for --init makes more sense than treating it as a boolean, which results in tsc --init false acting as a valid call to tsc without parameters.

@DanielRosenwasser @RyanCavanaugh is this a possible feature?

Most recently discussed at #58420. I think we're broadly in favor of just making "clean" be the only output, but need to discuss this again to finalize the exact shape.

We are not in favor of new modes; new modes don't help anyone here.

Ops, sorry I missed that discussion 🫣
