merge: Create findRelativeMaximumPointCount.js (#771)

* Create find_relative_maximum_point_count.js

print number of relative maximum points in array
runs in O(n)

* rename file to match requested casing

* add inline comments and greater documentation

* fix wrong reference to algorithm explanation

* remove live code and fix function misnaming

* add multiple cases tests

* add last line as empty line

* git pull

* style changes

* move tests to test folder

* chore: fix spelling

* fix package-lock

* revert to old lock file

* chore: add line feed

+/**
+ * [NumberOfLocalMaximumPoints](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-indices-of-all-local-maxima-and-local-minima-in-an-array/) is an algorithm to find relative bigger numbers compared to their neighbors
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ * - like the other similar local maxima search function find relative maxima points in array but doesnt stop at one but returns total point count
+ * - runs on array A of size n and returns the local maxima count using divide and conquer methodology
+ *
+ * @complexity: O(n) (on average )
+ * @complexity: O(n) (worst case)
+ * @flow
