TSLint core formatters

Lint formatters allow for transformation of lint results into various forms before outputting to stdout or a file.

Formatters are split into two categories: human-readable and machine-readable. Please note that for machine-readable formatters formatters all positioning is zero-indexed (lines start with zero), whereas human-readable formatters are not (lines start with one).
