As a visitor developer, I want my visitor modules to be compiled on the fly. #5

Given glob paths to un-compiled TypeScript visitor modules, When I load those modules via FindByGlob, Then the AstVisitorFinder should compile the modules on the fly.

Possibly the NodeHook class becomes part of the tsos-compiler project.

Ok so this is actually a bit of a challenge. At first I was thinking I can just use the exiting NodeHook but then we find ourselves with some interesting circular dependency issues to solve. ie: The NodeHook needs to load the visitors, and then the TypeScript visitors need to be transpiled but the NodeHook will then attempt to transpile those Visitors using result of their own transpilation and ultimately end up with a Stack Overflow exception.
