Andrew Kesterson f0858b0d38 Document what the functions actually do instead of that they can fail
The Doxygen comments were generated from the declarations, so 217 @throws
lines across 21 headers read "When the corresponding validation or operation
fails" and told a caller nothing beyond the status name. The @param lines were
the same shape: every output was "Output destination populated by the
function", every instance "Object to initialize, inspect, or modify".

Rewritten against the implementations, following the pattern libakstdlib
already uses:

- @throws names the condition. akgl_sprite_load_json separated AKERR_KEY
  (absent) from AKERR_TYPE (present, wrong type) from AKERR_OUTOFBOUNDS
  (filename too long, or array indexed past its end), and gained AKGL_ERR_SDL
  and AKGL_ERR_HEAP, which it raises and never declared.
- Parameters say whether they are required, what a NULL means, and what is
  written on a failure path. Where an argument is not checked, the doc says so:
  akgl_heap_next_actor's dest is a crash on NULL, not an error, and
  akgl_render_2d_frame_start dereferences self before testing it.
- The conventions move up to the file blocks so the per-function docs stay
  short. json_helpers.h states once that absence is an error here and that
  json_t * results are borrowed; heap.h explains the pool model and the
  acquire asymmetry; physics.h carries the thrust/environmental/velocity table.
- Struct fields, enum values, macros and exported globals are documented,
  including the dead ones - sprite_w/sprite_h, movetimer, p_scale and
  timer_gravity are read by nothing, and say so.

Also fixes ten comments in error.h and audio.h that opened with /** rather
than /**<, so Doxygen attached them to the following entity and rendered the
text as part of the macro's value. Verified against the generated HTML.

Comments only - no declaration changed. Doxygen builds clean under
WARN_AS_ERROR, scripts/reindent.sh --check passes, 19/19 suites pass.

/**

* @brief A fixed-capacity string object handed out by the akgl string heap layer.
*
* The library allocates nothing at runtime, so a "string" here is a
* PATH_MAX-sized buffer claimed from the pool with akgl_heap_next_string and
* given back with akgl_heap_release_string. Capacity is fixed at compile time:
* these functions truncate rather than grow, and truncation is silent.
