doc: make error descriptions more concise
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Remove the practice of starting most error descriptions with "Used when"
or wordier variations.

Change errors of the form:

> Used when the type of an asynchronous resource is invalid.

...to:

> The type of an asynchronous resource was invalid.

Change errors of the form:

> The `'ERR_INVALID_CURSOR_POS'` is thrown specifically when a cursor on
> a given stream is attempted to move to a specified row without a
> specified column.

...to:

> A cursor on a given stream cannot be moved to a specified row without
> a specified column.
