* chore: Rename `apply` to `mapSlices`
This renaming conforms with the Julia name for the function formerly
called `apply`, and allows it to be called from the expression parser.
The previous name `apply` is kept as an alias for `mapSlices`, for
backward compatibility. This commit implements an `alias` metadata
property for function factories to facilitate the `apply` alias for
`mapSlices`.
As a separate bonus, this PR corrects several typos in function docs
and removes now-passing doc tests from the list of "known failing" doc
tests to get down to 45 known failures and 136 total issues in doc tests.
(Most of the excess of 136 as compared to 45 are just due to roundoff
error/slight inaccuracy of what the documentation claims the result will
be and the actual result returned by mathjs. When the 45 are eliminated,
a reasonable numeric tolerance can be decided on for doc testing and
then the doc tests can be made binding rather than advisory.
