This PR adds documentation for the NPC component.

The open.mp branch for beta testing can be found here:
openmultiplayer/open.mp#916

Bugs while testing? Report them here: openmultiplayer/open.mp#1134

A test gamemode built using the wiki snippets is available here:
https://github.com/itsneufox/NPC-bare-test-omp-gamemode

The goal is for the NPCs wiki code to be fully reusable so anyone can copy and paste it on the gamemode with minimal effort

Sorry, I meant that the content of the examples sections of these two markdown files was incorrect, not that there was an error in the gamemode code.

NPC_IsSpawned should use "/checkspawned" instead of "/checkshooting".
NPC_PausePlayback should not use "/npcopennode".
