Update documentation for partial type signatures

In the documentation for partial type signatures, I found several bits that are out of date:

  • There are several sample error messages given. These have been substantively reworded (Found hole _ with type: ... to Found type wildcard _ standing for ...) where I find the new wording much clearer.

  • In the "Where can they occur?" section, there's no mention of TypeApplications, which is a new context where they can appear.
