This ports the PDF manual by @catloversg into .md form, so it can be used in-game and via browsing on GitHub.
It also adds MathJax rendering to in-game docs, so that the math formulas can be rendered. (GitHub already supports this natively.)

currently tails are on a static rerender time of 1000ms
there are ways to force a rerender with ns.moveTail / ns.resizeTail
but i dont know why this shouldnt be a setting set by the player
currently its static set on creation of the tail window but that could be expanded to allow setting it per script
and maybe through a ns function
A significant portion of players who use ports are passing objects through them. Currently they are required to handle that themselves via JSON serialization. This PR adds better support for passing objects; which is more convenient, extensive, and optimized (probably, more on this one later).
This adds zero overhead to existing (or when passing any primitive types) port usage, and also isn't a breaking change. The questions to debate here are:
Should objects be supported in the first place?
If so, how exactly do we want to serialize objects?
Based on an extensive discussion in Discord, the overwhelming majority answered "yes" to question one. As for question two, that has been much more hotly contested.
Ultimately, `structuredClone` was used, despite less-than-stellar performance, because other options were worse either in safety, speed, error-handling, or multiple of the above.
so far we calculate the effect of weaken in three +1 places
ns.weaken
ns.weakenAnalyze
terminal weaken
and server.weaken where the bn mult is applied
i extracted the logic into a new netscript helper function getWeakenEffect
this gives us one place if we want to change the formula
a side effect i added the server.cpuCores to the terminal weaken to future proof it if the npc server core pr (#963) is merged
