Fix doc comments (dart-archive/html#256)

Update comments that set off a false positive in the
`unintended_html_in_doc_comment` lint. For references to core Dart
types with generics, replace the square braces with backticks since it
isn't useful to constantly link them.

For the comments that are edited, and a few nearby, update for style:

- Separate out a header as it's own paragraph.
- Reduce repetitive phrasing and redundant links to the same arguments.

Use a trailing comma for a long argument list, and re-order the
arguments so that the always-useful arguments are at the top, and the
arguments only pertaining to certain uses follow.
