This is my first (draft) PR to TurfJS in preparation for other enhancement requests to turf-great-circle.
@smallsaucepan given that you've begun typescript-ifying other modules, this PR should help contribute to this discussion #2538.

Fantastic. Thanks @thomas-hervey. Will take a look at this shortly.

@thomas-hervey it would be great if we could take the opportunity to do away with the whole lib/arc.* section and import as a third party module. There is https://www.npmjs.com/package/arc (which it looks like we've copy pasted into Turf at some point) but that doesn't have types.

Are you possibly in a position to submit types to DefinitelyTyped for the arc JS lib, so we can import it nicely into Turf as part of your PR? If not - and don't feel obliged - I'll give it a whirl and let you know when it's ready to integrate.

@smallsaucepan apologies for my delayed response. Yes I'll happily try to submit types to DefinitelyTyped for the arc JS lib and let you know if I run into any issues.
