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

GoAnalysis.getLiberties() method

Returns a number for each point, representing how many open nodes its network/chain is connected to. Empty nodes and dead nodes are shown as -1 liberties.

Takes an optional boardState argument; by default uses the current board state.

For example, a 5x5 board might look like this. The chain in the top-left touches 5 total empty nodes, and the one in the center touches four. The group in the bottom-right only has one liberty; it is in danger of being captured!

 [ [-1, 5,-1,-1, 2], [ 5, 5,-1,-1,-1], [-1,-1, 4,-1,-1], [ 3,-1,-1, 3, 1], [ 3,-1,-1, 3, 1], ] 

Signature:

getLiberties(boardState?: string[]): number[][];

Parameters

(Optional) Optional. The current board state, as an array of strings. Defaults to the current board state.

Returns:

Remarks

RAM cost: 16 GB (This is intentionally expensive; you can derive this info from just getBoardState() )
