Threads are a positive integer (#366)
* Added new positive integer ns validation helper
* `run`, `exec`, and `spawn` verify threads as a positive integer.
* `run` terminal command also fails if the provided threadcount is not a positive integer.
* Removed some references to .script files in various documentation, and removed some of the NS1 example blocks
