Typedoc: 0.15.1 needs TypeScript 3.7.x and breaks with Protractor code

• [x] I have checked issues with bug label and found no duplicates

I'm mainly creating this bug because it cost me a lot of time to find the culprit... I have in my package.json

"typedoc": "^0.15.0"

so it automatically installed 0.15.1, which caused errors like

[15:56:03] node_modules/protractor/built/index.d.ts(4)
 Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'PluginConfig'.
[15:56:03] node_modules/protractor/built/index.d.ts(4)
 Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'ProtractorPlugin'.

Expected Behavior

A patch release (going from 0.15.0 to 0.15.1) doesn't break existing code.

Actual Behavior

The (automatic) update to version 0.15.1 requires TypeScript 3.7.x which breaks typedoc'ing code that uses Protractor because of this bug https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/5348.

Steps to reproduce the bug

TypeDoc a project which depends on Protractor 5.4.2.

Environment

• TypeDoc version: 0.15.1
• Node version: 10.15.3
• OS: Windows 10

Ouch, sorry about that. I released as 0.15.1 since I've been adding issues to the 0.16 milestone that weren't ready yet. Clearly I should have renamed that to 0.17 and released 0.15.1 as 0.16. I'll be sure to do this for future releases that upgrade the TS version.

If you're running into this I recommend changing your targeted version to "0.15.0" so that npm doesn't automatically upgrade. I'm not going to overwrite versions to fix this.
