DOC: Add ns documentation for possible sleeve tasks ()
* Add specific types for sleeve tasks
* Moved LocationName enum to overall enums file
* Add LocationName enum to those provided to player
* remove trailing s on CompanyPosNames enum (now CompanyPosName, in line with LocationName)
* Also regenerated all ns documentation. This leads to an expected error when checking for generated files, because PRs should not normally touch markdown files. Also leads to a lint failure in generated file bitburner.d.ts
* also removed some exporting from NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts for anything that wasn't imported somewhere else.
