Go 1.19's "fmt" has some awareness of the new doc comment formatting
conventions and adjusts the presentation of the source comments to make
it clearer how godoc would interpret them. Therefore this commit includes
various updates made by "go fmt" to acheve that.

In line with our usual convention that we make stylistic/grammar/spelling
tweaks typically only when we're "in the area" changing something else
anyway, I also took this opportunity to review most of the comments that
this updated to see if there were any other opportunities to improve them.
