Closes expressjs/express#7231.

The generator page doesn't mention TypeScript anywhere, and express-generator only scaffolds JavaScript. The issue suggested pointing to the community express-generator-typescript project, so I added a short section to that effect on both the 4x and 5x English pages.

I kept it to a couple of sentences and a one-line command, and flagged that the tool is community-maintained rather than official. Left the translated pages alone.

The linkChecker failure here is unrelated to this change. It's reporting site-wide dead links that already fail on main (slack-invite.openjsf.org returning 403, cyclic.sh with an invalid cert), and they show up on every page across all languages, not just the generator page. The link I added (the express-generator-typescript repo) passes. Happy to rebase if you clear the link-checker backlog separately.
