Michael Taylor dcd2f33f7c CODEBASE: Update api-documentor and api-extractor (#2320)
* Update api-documentor and api-extractor. #1566 follow-up.

I have verified that the HTML/markdown table generation bug in
[#4878](https://github.com/microsoft/rushstack/issues/4878) in rushstack
for api-documentor has been fixed as per rushstack#5256. The testcase
[repro](https://github.com/catloversg/api-documenter-bug-pr-4578) now
produces the correct expected output.

I have confirmed that the generated output in bitburner from
`npm run doc` now generated HTML tables, and correctly inserts
a blank line between the </table> and the follow line (e.g. Returns).

Stylisticly it could use some whitespace, but it is correctly rendered.

This commit is only the updated packages, not the updated generated
documentation. I assume that is automatically generated by the GitHub
workflow.

* Follow up to 5f732a6f35, include `npm run doc` changed docs.

* Add missing license info

* Fix React warning

Remarks

RAM cost: 0 GB

Opens a scripts logs. This is functionally the same as the tail Terminal command.

If the function is called with no arguments, it will open the current scripts logs.

Otherwise, the PID or filename, hostname/ip, and args… arguments can be used to get the logs from another script. Remember that scripts are uniquely identified by both their names and arguments.

Example

//Open logs from foo.js on the current server that was run with no args
ns.ui.openTail("foo.js");

//Get logs from foo.js on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args
ns.ui.openTail("foo.js", "foodnstuff");

//Get logs from foo.js on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"]
ns.ui.openTail("foo.js", "foodnstuff", 1, "test");
