Sometimes, before dev_bundle/bin/.meteor-commands.json has been written, a
command like `./meteor npx tsc` can fail because `npx` is not blessed in
the same way `node` and `npm` are. Since `npx` is a core tool that we want
folks to be able to use without confusion, I think it makes sense to
include it in the list of known subcommands.
Unfortunately, this conversion triggered an error due to one of the
shortcomings of the Babel implementation of TypeScript:
SyntaxError: /tools/tool-env/profile.ts: Namespace not marked type-only declare. Non-declarative namespaces are only supported experimentally in Babel. To enable and review caveats see: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-plugin-transform-typescript

The meteor/tools/isobuild/resolver.js changes are the static half of the
puzzle. The runtime half was implemented in install@0.13.0 with this
commit: 233aa75ce3
This saves us from having to install @babel/parser in the server bundle.
There is currently a bug in Reify that prevents it from loading this
parser by default, but we can work around that on the Meteor side for now.
