Fixes #29511

The first two make sense to me, since I added a new field to the CompilerOptions interface in types.ts

The last one isn't so obvious to me and I'm not sure how I'd go about correcting this.

[EDIT]
Oh, I think it's just that I have to accept the new baseline file under baselines/local/showConfig/Shows tsconfig for single option/maxInstantiationDepth/tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "maxInstantiationDepth": 0
    }
}

I looked at the baseline changes and they seem okay to me. Nothing wildly different. So, I went and accepted them.

I know it's just a test with a dummy value but setting maxInstantiationDepth to 0 is a bad idea =P
[/EDIT]

The issue is only marked as Needs Investigation but I figured I'd take a stab at adding this compiler option. Being able to increase the maximum instantiation depth from 50 to an arbitrary value is useful for me because I seem to work with deeply nested, non-recursive, types a lot.

I'm not sure how to write unit tests to test this compiler option yet but I'll try and figure it out. I figured I'd just make the PR first.

I'm not sure what description to give this compiler option, and what code it would use.

Do I need to add maxInstantiationDepth to protocol.ts > CompilerOptions, too?

I'm also unsure what else I might be missing.

While jake runtests fails and I haven't written a unit test for this compiler option, I've tested it against a project I'm working on and it seems to work.

Without setting maxInstantiationDepth, compiling my project fails, setting maxInstantiationDepth to 74 lets it compile successfully.

I realize this PR has a bunch of problems but I'm out of my depth (No pun intended).
