This adds and updates module index description comments in support of #25667. Here, I focused on modules I obviously own, key distributions that were lacking a description, and entries that took up multiple lines:
In order to add documentation for the block and cyclic distributions, I had to add an explicit
module
keyword. This flipped it from a prototype module to a production module, popping us into Chapel's stricter error-handling mode. As a result, I had to add some newthrows
declarations to dsiSerialRead/Write routines to make them pass. Happily, since these are internal routines, it is not a breaking change. (I also removed a commented out and redundant dsiSerialWrite routine in CyclicDist.chpl).Adding the
module
keyword (but not doing any other reformatting), I broke our CI's linting of the file and didn't want to wrestle with fixing the indentation here. As a result, I applied the new attribute added by Daniel in #25800 to keep things working for the time being.
