Extend Arrays In Tsconfig

I am unable to use both tsconfig.base paths (nx monorepo libs) and tsconfig.local paths (relative path cleanup).

Good solutions are mentioned here #20110

Opening this with another issue because that one is from 2017 and seems to largely have fallen off the radar

✅ Viability Checklist

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

There's no point in making another issue if there's already one open.
