Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs (#8146)
* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs

99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:

- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note

- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get
  per-definition docs

Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and
removing trailing spaces.

Picking up from #8133

* Fix two things from comments

* Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath`

* Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs

This will render correctly.

/**
* dumpPath creates a Nix archive of the specified path.
*
* @param path the file system data to dump. Dumping is recursive so if
* this is a directory we dump it and all its children.
*
* @param [out] sink The serialised archive is fed into this sink.
*
* @param filter Can be used to skip certain files.
*
* The format is as follows:
*
* ```
* IF path points to a REGULAR FILE:
* dump(path) = attrs(
* [ ("type", "regular")
* , ("contents", contents(path))
* ])
*
* IF path points to a DIRECTORY:
* dump(path) = attrs(
* [ ("type", "directory")
* , ("entries", concat(map(f, sort(entries(path)))))
* ])
* where f(fn) = attrs(
* [ ("name", fn)
* , ("file", dump(path + "/" + fn))
* ])
*
* where:
*
* attrs(as) = concat(map(attr, as)) + encN(0)
* attrs((a, b)) = encS(a) + encS(b)
*
* encS(s) = encN(len(s)) + s + (padding until next 64-bit boundary)
*
* encN(n) = 64-bit little-endian encoding of n.
*
* contents(path) = the contents of a regular file.
*
* sort(strings) = lexicographic sort by 8-bit value (strcmp).
*
* entries(path) = the entries of a directory, without `.` and
* `..`.
*
* `+` denotes string concatenation.
* ```
