Improve description of bit32.extract/replace. (#585)
Fix description incorrectly saying that parameter w specifies an upper range. w is actually a width. Proof:

    print(bit32.extract(2^32-1, 3, 4)) -- prints 15, not 1.

Also indicate that the position is 0-based, and that the function will error if the selected range exceeds the allowed bounds.

Fix broken link in typecheck.md (#568)
Current link redirects to 
https://luau-lang.org/typecheck#Roblox-types (notice the fragment) 
which is effectively the same as https://luau-lang.org/typecheck
What the link *wants* to redirect to is 
https://luau-lang.org/typecheck#roblox-types (notice the change in fragment) 
which is the Roblox types segment of the document

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.

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

Update library.md (#352)
Clarify the relationship between `typeof` and `newproxy`. As a sandboxing measure, `typeof` only uses `__type` on host-defined userdata.

Fixes #351.
