ESQL: Move description of commands in docs (#110714)
This copies the first line of the description of each command to just
under the syntax so that it's "in order", before the `Parameters`
section. That way if you are reading from top to bottom you see:
```
syntax
short description
parameter names and descriptions
long description
examples
```

I've also removed the `Description` section entirely if the description
was just one sentence. So in some cases that just isn't `long
description`.

[[esql-drop]]
=== `DROP`
The `DROP` processing command removes one or more columns.
**Syntax**
[source,esql]
----
DROP columns
----
*Parameters*
`columns`::
A comma-separated list of columns to remove. Supports wildcards.
*Examples*
[source,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/drop.csv-spec[tag=height]
----
Rather than specify each column by name, you can use wildcards to drop all
columns with a name that matches a pattern:
[source,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/drop.csv-spec[tag=heightWithWildcard]
----
