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.

/**
* @file text.h
* @brief Loading fonts and drawing or measuring strings with them.
*
* Fonts are `TTF_Font *` handles kept in the #AKGL_REGISTRY_FONT property
* registry under a caller-chosen name; there is no akgl font type wrapping them.
* SDL_ttf must be initialized (akgl_game_init does it) before any of this.
*
* The two measure functions do not touch the renderer, so they are usable
* before -- or entirely without -- a window. Drawing is immediate mode: each
* akgl_text_rendertextat() call rasterizes, uploads, blits, and throws the
* texture away, which is fine for a HUD line and wrong for a large body of
* static text redrawn every frame.

* a font, or a @p size SDL_ttf refuses. The message carries

* Coordinates are screen coordinates, not world ones: this does not go through
