Update compatibility.md
Update `__pairs` note with `__iter`, change `__len` to unsure as with `__iter` lack of `__len` on tables is the only issue preventing complete user created containers.

Update sandbox.md
Reword the GC docs to avoid back-referencing the thread identity mechanism, since it's entirely Roblox-side and isn't fully documented here anymore.

Improve the UX of reading tagged unions a smidge. (#449)
The page is a little narrow, and having to scroll on this horizontally isn't too nice. This fixes the UX for this specific part.

Add documentation on singleton types and tagged unions to typecheck.md. (#440)
Update the typecheck.md page to talk about singleton types and their uses, tagged unions.

As a driveby, improve the documentation on type refinements. And delete the unknown symbols part, this is really dated.

* Update docs/_pages/typecheck.md to fix a typo

docs: Create library.md (#87)
Full documentation for the standard library, written from scratch by looking at the source code - so hopefully this is reasonably correct/precise.

Some of the function descriptions are probably too concise to be easily understandable - we can flesh this out in the future.

Some of the type specifications aren't using valid Luau syntax; in particular, I've used "function" or "table" in a few places as a human-friendly notion that any function/table suffices, and the iterator functions just say that they return <iterator> without being specific as to what the signature of the generator is.
