ARToolKitPlus ported to Typescript

[kalwalt]

ARToolKitPlus as explained in the README.md is an extended version of ARToolKit's vision code that adds features, but breaks compatibility due to a new class-based API. Maybe it worth to develop a web version and i started to port to Javascript and Typescript in this my repository artoolkitplus-ts. Not all the code is ported yet, and i have to say this project in an infancy stage, but there are some rough example to test if you want to try.
@nicolocarpignoli @nickw1 it could be that this project could be an alternative approach to ARToolKit, maybe it could be in a future integrated into AR.js? In any case i will move the project to the AR-js-org
I will not have so much time in this period of the year ( but when i have...??) but i hope to move further soon.
There are some differences between artoolkit5-js (ARToolkit) and artoolkitplus-ts (ARToolKitPlus):

	artoolkit5-js	artoolkitplus-ts
source code	C	C++
camera calibration data	binary file	text file (OpenCV.js standard)
image data	allocating pointers through EM_ASM	passing directly data through emscripten::val
detecting markers	marker data is passed through global variable artoolkit in the markerInfo object	data passed internally no gloabl variable required !
pose		use rpp: Robust Planar Pose a more efficient pose estimation algorithm

I will improve this table of comparison as i will have more time, i hope that you will find useful.

@kalwalt with the caveat that I'm not so familiar with the code base on the marker / NFT side, this looks good.

No worries @nickw1 i appreciate in any case, Merry Xmas 🎄 🎉 🥇

@kalwalt thanks, Merry Christmas too!

I added Typescript support to ARToolKitPlus, there is also a basic video example, within you can point a marker and you got a message in the console with the id number and the matrix position. I will do a more elaborate example in a future.

Now artoolkitplus-ts is part of the AR.js org and i published the first npm package.
