MageKing17 ae15914efa Update netscript documentation.
Unfortunately, I haven't used most of the specialty APIs yet, so I'm not intimately familiar with where their documentation might be wrong. I figured some fixes were better than no fixes, and I can always make more fixes later.

Fixes #1023.

calculateExp() Netscript Function
=================================
.. js:function:: calculateExp(skillLevel[, mult])
:RAM cost: 0 GB
:param number skillLevel: ``skillLevel`` to convert to exp.
:param number mult: Assume a specific skill multipler (not exp multiplier).
:returns: number of exp required to reach given ``skillLevel`` with that multiplier.
If you are not in BitNode-5, then you must have Source-File 5-1 in order to
use this function.
This function calculates the amount of experience needed to reach the given
``skillLevel``.
Examples:
.. code-block:: javascript
player = getPlayer();
nextHacking = player.hacking_skill+1;
nextExp = formulas.basic.calculateExp(nextHacking);
missingExp = nextExp - player.hacking_exp;
tprint("Missing " + missingExp + " to reach next hacking level");
