Move TypeScript build:types to watch task

We already have type checks in editors and IDEs, plus we run `lint:types` during the GitHub Actions workflow

So this check is more useful as a watch task for early feedback

Adds flag `--incremental` to use the compiler cache (10x faster) and flag `--pretty` to preserve colour output via `concurrently` CLI
