Should be possible to update typings .lib file used by visual studio extension

[SaphuA]

We develop our project using visual studio, but use webpack instead of the vs extension to compile typescript. We do use the extension's great support for intellisense. However we recently ran into an issue where the typings used by the extension and the one in npm were different. It would be great if we could either update the typings or point to the version used by webpack.

In VS 2015 you can install the matching version through: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48593

In VS 2017 (currently available in the Preview channel) , this should be available through tools/options menu, see #14529 for relevant discussions.
