New option for typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier to use relative only if path starts with ./

[AlbertoSadoc]

I would like an option to import modules using always non-relative urls except if it can be a relative url starting with ./.

non-relative is great to show the full path the file is referenced, specially if the relative path have several ../ path segments. shortest still can show several ../ path segments if relative path is shorter than the non-relative path. This new option will avoid ../ at all costs but can use relative if the file is located under the same folder of the current file.

An extra option would be to also allow one single ../ as it is going up the path just once which it is not very confusing either.

+1 as described is exactly what I'd like as well.

shortest is currently the best we have. TypeScript has good support for self-referencing packages but we have to choose between either always using full references [non-relative] or an unreliable sometimes-relative sometimes-absolute hybrid [shortest].
