Allow choice between JavaScript and TypeScript for E2E scaffolding

[MikeMcC399]

This is an enhancement request.

What would you like?

If Cypress determines that a new project can be scaffolded using TypeScript, it should allow the user to choose between setting up a JavaScript project and setting up a Typescript project.

Why is this needed?

If the npm module typescript is installed, then Cypress automatically scaffolds a new E2E project using TypeScript without asking the user if they would like JavaScript or TypeScript. This is not necessarily what the user would want.

Steps to reproduce

mkdir cy-ts-test
cd cy-ts-test
git init
npm init -y
npm install typescript -D -E
npm install cypress -D -E
npx cypress open --e2e --browser electron

Note the Configuration files screen showing TypeScript files automatically being configured with no choice being given.
