Out of date Quantum Engine API doc

[pavoljuhas]

Description of the issue

docs/google/engine.md references the removed Engine.run_batch method. So does the API doc at the https://quantumai.google/cirq/google/engine.

Todo

• [ ] sync engine.md with the actual API
• [ ] check for other instances referencing Engine.run_batch or any other removed/deprecated functions

Cirq version

1.4.0.dev at a9776d0f3613d675d68082aa620919a94658263c

Hi, I started looking through engine.md and comparing the tutorial against the current Engine API.

From what I understood the difference between Engine.run vs Engine.run_batch is that Engine.run_batch accepts a list of circuits as input to process in bulk.

1. Is there an alternative approach for running a list of circuits that should be used in the documentation instead?
2. Would it make sense to use run_sweep() to replace Engine.run_batch in the tutorial?

I noticed that the run() function in the Engine class calls run_sweep(), which seemed to be a more generalized version that can return a list of results.

csynque meeting - it is better to reassign to cirq-google authors
