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: 0.1 GB
Function that is used to try and hack servers to steal money and gain hacking experience. The runtime for this command depends on your hacking level and the target servers security level when this function is called. In order to hack a server you must first gain root access to that server and also have the required hacking level.
A script can hack a server from anywhere. It does not need to be running on the same server to hack that server. For example, you can create a script that hacks the `foodnstuff` server and run that script on any server in the game.
A successful `hack()` on a server will raise that servers security level by 0.002 per thread. You can use [hackAnalyzeSecurity](./bitburner.ns.hackanalyzesecurity.md) to calculate the security increase for a number of threads.
## Example
```js
let earnedMoney = await ns.hack("foodnstuff");
```
