Dedicated interface for options

[uetchy]

I'm not sure this is the right place to discuss this issue, it is about the interface of SVG and CHTML class.

MathJax-src/ts/output/svg.ts

Lines 112 to 115 in b526361

 constructor(options: OptionList = null) { 
     super(options, SVGWrapperFactory as any, TeXFont); 
     this.fontCache = new FontCache(this); 
 } 

MathJax-src/ts/output/chtml.ts

Lines 127 to 130 in b526361

 constructor(options: OptionList = null) { 
     super(options, CHTMLWrapperFactory as any, TeXFont); 
     this.font.adaptiveCSS(this.options.adaptiveCSS); 
 } 

Currently, SVG and CHTML class takes option params which are defined as OptionList.

MathJax-src/ts/util/Options.ts

Line 40 in b526361

 export type OptionList = {[name: string]: any}; 

OptionList is an object with an index signature that accepts any key and value, resulting TypeScript won't check key of a passed parameter so that it is hard for users to tell what options are available for SVG or CHTML class without seeing the document.

I've already written these interfaces for another project and feel like it should be bundled with MathJax by default.
remarkjs/remark-math#48

interface MathJaxSVGOptions {
  scale: number
  minScale: number
  mtextInheritFont: boolean
  merrorInheritFont: boolean
  mathmlSpacing: boolean
  skipAttributes: {[index: string]: boolean}
  exFactor: number
  displayAlign: 'left' | 'center' | 'right'
  displayIndent: string
  fontCache: 'local' | 'global'
  localID: string | null
  internalSpeechTitles: boolean
  titleID: number
}

Is it ok to send a PR to include these interfaces?

@dpvc sorry to bother but I'd like to hear opinions from you.

I was looking for this exactly back in the day.
It's a guessing game understanding the options.
