Some preliminary work to improve documentation, particularly around internal types. Summary of changes:

Publish documentation for internal types

Internal types like Units, DbscanProps have had some JSDoc fields added. This will make them exportable as first class pages on the website (with some corresponding changes to turf-www) which we can link to from other pages that reference them.

They are also included in the README.md for the package in which they're defined. Not able to link directly between README.md files yet though.

Move away from categorising functions via documenation.yml

Suggest instead we add a custom JSDoc tag to relevant functions (@turfcategory), and use this to sort each function into its relevant category on the website e.g. along -> Measurement, hexGrid -> Grids. Category is co-located with the function. Less error prone as any function not listed in documents.yml ends up in Others, rather than being omitted entirely.

Sort categories alphabetically

This is largely to keep the web site generation code slightly simpler. With the sheer number of categories, plus better search, the order of the categories isn't that important.

Updated some mismatched parameter types

JSDoc parameter types that were out of sync with what the function actually used were updated where spotted. Particularly focusing on internal types whose documentation will be improving e.g. string -> Units.

CODE CHANGES

Only code change was to MoranIndex type, which is now being exported. To date this wasn't a named type and is an optional import so shouldn't cause any backwards compatibility issues.

… sure about what is a function. Parser seems to infer the function name just fine. Adding a @turfcategory tag to functions so turf-www generation can use that to categorise functions in the side menu. Avoids issues with documentation.yml getting out of date.
…s. Minimal other changes to bring JSDoc types into line with code types. Added GeoJsonProperties to documentation.yml for type linking.
…JSDoc for internal types and constants e.g. Units. Also synced up some out of data JSDoc types with what is in the code.

Thanks for taking a look @twelch. Sadly doesn't look like I'll be able to do the @turfcategory thing as documentation lint checks for unrecognised tags. Will stick with documentation.yml instead though make its usage more robust.

…cognised tags. Instead switching the structure of documentation.yml to be more traditionally nested. We'll use this new structure from the turf-www repo to generate the website documentation in a more robust manner.

All I need to do now is figure out how I've broken the build by updating documentation 🙌

…sonRbush) causes @turf/turf last-checks to fail. Specifically defining it as rbush like it used to be, except with the @function tag rather than @name.

Got the build fixed @twelch if you're able to take another look.
