Correct the added Scaladoc where it did not match the implementation

Adjudicated from an independent review of this branch. Comment-only.

- LazyVals.LazyValControlState was described as a state held only while a lazy
  val is unbound. NullValue is the permanent sentinel for a lazy val that
  evaluated to null, so it outlives the computation.
- ModuleSerializationProxy said the resolved instance is cached per class. It
  is, through ClassValue, but the ClassValueCompat fallback recomputes on every
  access where java.lang.ClassValue is unavailable.
- ArrayCharSequence.charAt can also throw for a slice whose bounds fall outside
  the array, since the constructor does not validate them, and toString takes
  its count from the declared bounds, so a negative start shifts the window
  rather than clipping it.
- ScalaRunTime.isArray described atLevel as a minimum; below 1 it never holds.
  stringOf's maxElements renders nothing at all below 1.
- StructuralCallSite.find can throw NoSuchMethodException from the reflective
  lookup a mega-morphic cache performs, and add records nothing and leaves the
  cache alone once the site is mega-morphic.
- IntegralProxy.until and to documented only the zero-step failure; the same
  deferred length computation also throws for a range of more than Int.MaxValue
  elements.
- Tuples.productToArray is called for arities 1 to 22; the empty tuple is
  handled separately with Array.emptyObjectArray.
- VarArgsBuilder.result returns a sequence over the whole fixed-length array
  rather than only the elements added, and its n parameter is an allocation
  length that nothing enforces.

Twenty-nine @return tags that merely restated a summary already beginning with
"Returns" or "Creates" are removed, across TupledFunctions, TupleXXL,
TupleMirror and the two Zipped iterables. The project's convention is to drop a
@return in exactly that case.

Declined: documenting, on each scala.runtime.java8 specialisation bridge, that
unboxing null yields a zero and that a wrongly typed argument throws
ClassCastException. Both are true of BoxesRunTime generally, these bridges are
compiler-facing rather than called directly, and there are hundreds of them.
