Have a way to skip typescript's module transform

[Jessidhia]

Issue :

ts-jest currently forces the value of the tsconfig option module to be commonjs here; however, this breaks use cases where both typescript and babel are used to transform code when the babel transform expects its input to still be in module form.

There seems to be code that appears intended to support this use case, but it's broken by the loop at the end of readTsConfig which forcibly overrides everything.

This issue affects at least babel-plugin-emotion: emotion-js/emotion#687

Disabling it would, of course, require that the user runs babel's transform instead, but the only use case for disabling it is when you have to also run babel anyway.

Expected behavior :

ts-jest to either respect the module setting in tsconfig, or to have a way to opt out of ts-jest's overriding of the module option.

(note the "module":1; it should be "module":6 if esnext was being respected)

@Kovensky thanks a lot for this issue. I think the easier would be to NOT override module at all as soon as babel option is defined.
