Description

I use the eslint-plugin-tsdoc for linting, and noticed that the JSDoc @see tag is not supported in the list of TSDoc tags.

We use @see tags extensively in one of our projects, so it would be great to add support for it so the TSDoc ESLint plugin doesn't warn for using that tag.

I'm happy to write a PR. Is all it takes adding this to the list of TSDoc tags?

Research direction

Start with tsdoc/src/details/StandardTags.ts and compare the surrounding standard tag definitions with the linked JSDoc and TSDoc references. Confirm how @see should be represented and check the linting workflow; done means the tag is recognized by TSDoc and no longer triggers the reported ESLint warning.
