Summary:
As part of improving the API and Component reference docs #8154 this pull request adds the following:
- jsdoc support for API docs. See the AlertIOS changes as an example.
- type definitions support and added to both API and Component docs. This is supported via react-docgen and jsdoc.
- better formatting of method properties (now shown in a table).
FYI, API and Component docs were previously generated in two different ways. Components were using react-docgen and that basically remains as-is. APIs were using custom parsing code and that's been switched to use a jsdoc parser + react-docgen as an option for typedefs (it could also use the jsdoc parser).
Two docs have been updated to showcase how we'd like the new docs to look:
- AlertIOS (API): showing method parameters, examples, typedefs, more details overall.
- Statusbar (Component): showing method parameters, typedefs, more details overall.
**Note**: To convert new API docs to use the new format, add `jsdoc` to the initial file comment. C
