Update NHSN new signals spreadsheet and API documentation #2125

Description

@aysim319

rsv confirmed admission was added from #2116 and from the statistical analysis it was revealed that the rsv data is only relevant starting the latest season 2024

in NHSN data, people didn't report RSV until 2023/2024 that's the main reason for zero

Ah, I see, it was because of the reporting mandate changes:

All RSV data through October 31, 2024 represent voluntarily reported data; as such, all voluntarily reported data included in this dataset represent reporting hospitals only for a given week and might not be complete or representative of all hospitals during the specified reporting periods.

from the NHSN data description. We'll need to note this in the documentation, because the numbers prior to this season are not useful.

The national numbers match RSV-NET well for the most recent season. (RSV-NET is a representative sample covering only 9% of the population, so I multiplied it by 10 to compare values.)

This is good to go.
