Linter should ignore `__tests__` folder when invoking `@lwc/metadata`

[nolanlawson]

Summary

Users are reporting (https://github.com/salesforce/sfdx-lwc-jest/issues/350) that import { createElement } from 'lwc' is showing a red squiggly in VS Code even though this is not considered a lint error anywhere else in the system (e.g. when running eslint on the command line or publishing via SFDX).

Our team looked into this, and we believe the solution is the following:

• The compiler ignores files that are in __tests__ folder and hence the linting rules do not apply. That explains why they are not facing any issues when saving the component.
• The fix would be to make language server mimic the same and ignore tests folder when invoking @lwc/metadata.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Add import { createElement } from 'lwc' to a __tests__ (Jest) test in an SFDX project.

Expected result

No red squiggly should appear.

Actual result

A red squiggly appears.
