Single export

Steps to reproduce the bug

Try generating documentation for a module that exports a single item using the export = syntax.

import { FirebaseNamespace } from './firebase-namespace';

const firebaseAdmin = new FirebaseNamespace();

export = firebaseAdmin;

The export was documented as a variable in the output.

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.20.2
• TypeScript version: 3.9.6
• Node.js version: 10.22.0
• OS: Mac

This looks like a duplicate of #1422

Short answer: handling this is tricky because people can do bad things:

export = 1

Closing in favor of #1422
