David Walker 4059be3d8c DOC: Move all docs into en/ subdirectory (#1505)
* DOC: Move all docs into en/ subdirectory

PR #1502 is working on adding a Chinese translation to the docs. In
general, I encouraged this (in #1452) as a path towards getting useful
translated content in the game without requiring a massive
refactor/rearchitecting of everything.

To support this, this takes the first step of moving our docs into an
en/ subdirectory, so that other languages can live alongside. No effort
is made at this time to support or select between alternate languages;
this is a pure-rename refactor.

Programs

In Bitburner "Programs" refer specifically to the list of .exe files found in the Programs tab of the side menu.

Unlike scripts you write for yourself with JavaScript, Programs are supplied to you by Bitburner and are only "programs" in name; they do not require or allow you to access actual lines of code. Instead once you have a Program you will be able to use it directly as a function in the Terminal or scripts.

[n00dles /]>  run BruteSSH.exe
[n00dles /]>  scan-analyze 10

or

ns.sqlinject("n00dles")

After meeting the Hacking Skill level threshold shown on each Program, you have the option to Create Program, allowing you to do that as a focused or unfocused activity. The time needed to create a Program generally increases with their level requirement, and scales with your stats.

Alternatively, you may also find the same Programs available for purchase by connecting to the in-game Darkweb, accessed after finding a tech store in a City and purchasing Tor ("The Onion Router").
