[red-knot] cleanup doc comments and attributes (#12792)

Make `cargo doc -p red_knot_python_semantic --document-private-items`
run warning-free. I'd still like to do this for all of ruff and start
enforcing it in CI (https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/12372) but
haven't gotten to it yet. But in the meantime I'm trying to maintain it
for at least `red_knot_python_semantic`, as it helps to ensure our doc
comments stay up to date.

A few of the comments I just removed or shortened, as their continued
relevance wasn't clear to me; please object in review if you think some
of them are important to keep!

Also remove a no-longer-needed `allow` attribute.
