94b13f733a errors: typed helpers for every documented error type
AlexaErrors has a helper for each of the 73 types of the table on
alexa-errorresponse.html, named after the type in camel case: 63 take the
message only, 10 take the payload fields their page documents. A field the
page requires (reason, currentDeviceMode, currentChargeState, resourceType)
is a required argument, so leaving it out does not compile; from JavaScript
the helper throws a TypeError that lists the values. validRange is optional,
as the page says, and has both ends when given.
temperatureOutOfRange and setpointsTooClose stay as shorter names.
The helpers are compared with the 15 examples of the four error pages.

aa0ffd64ea registry: describe an Alexa interface as data
src/registry/ holds what the library knows about an interface: namespace, version, the page it was read from,
properties with their value schemas and directives with their payload schemas. Five interfaces are described
(Alexa, PowerController, BrightnessController, TemperatureSensor, EndpointHealth); the other 65 names of
AlexaInterfaceType are stubs with the version and property names of 1.5.2. schema.ts is the run-time check behind
it (241 lines, no new dependency), catalog.ts the vocabularies of the pages: 103 assets (23 units), 6 actions,
9 states, 56 display categories, 22 reserved words, 73 error types under 11 namespaces.

AlexaInterface.getVersion() and getProps() read the registry; the two switch statements are gone (-167 lines).
On the wire: Alexa.EndpointHealth is announced at 3.1 (was 3.3; the page is titled 3.1 and no page mentions 3.3),
and TimeHoldController and Camera.LiveViewController at 3 and 1.7 (1.5.2 sent the string "UNKNOWN").
DisplayCategory gains VACUUM. New exports: registry, DeclarationError, SchemaError, Assets, Units, Actions,
States, DisplayCategories and the descriptor types.

Tests: 20 JSON examples of the five pages under test/fixtures/alexa-docs; every directive payload and property
value in them parses with its descriptor. npm test: 57 pass (was 30) in 10.8 s, also on Node 18.20.8 and 20.20.2.
