Update lib.es2016.array.include.d.ts

Array's `include` function checks whether or not the `searchElement` exists in it, and returns the appropriate boolean value as an answer.
However, in the current implementation, TypeScript is requesting the type of `searchElement` to be a member of the array, instead of receiving any value as `searchElement`.
This in turn forces the user to know in advance whether or not the `searchElement` is a member of the array, which defeats the whole purpose of using the 'include' function. The way users currently workaround that problem is by overriding the TypeScript mechanism by using "as", as suggested by @sandersn in here: microsoft#33200 (comment) . See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43804805/check-if-value-exists-in-enum-in-typescript .

I believe that the purpose of the `include` function is to allow any variable, even if its type is unknown, to be searched in the array and get a boolean answer, and therefore I suggest the following changes.
