Updates the Typescript types from @DefinitelyTyped and adds them to this package.

I elected to create the Typescript types by creating ordinary .ts files and compiling them. My reasoning is that more TS developers are familiar with regular .ts rather than the extra syntax in .d.ts files.

I also updated the API documentation to fix some wording and typos, update the API signatures, and create a table of contents organized by object name. I also updated the examples to use more modern JS and variable names based on the class names.
