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-row]]
=== `ROW`
The `ROW` source command produces a row with one or more columns with values
that you specify. This can be useful for testing.
**Syntax**
[source,esql]
----
ROW column1 = value1[, ..., columnN = valueN]
----
*Parameters*
`columnX`::
The column name.
`valueX`::
The value for the column. Can be a literal, an expression, or a
<<esql-functions,function>>.
*Examples*
[source.merge.styled,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/row.csv-spec[tag=example]
----
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|===
include::{esql-specs}/row.csv-spec[tag=example-result]
|===
Use square brackets to create multi-value columns:
[source,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/row.csv-spec[tag=multivalue]
----
`ROW` supports the use of <<esql-functions,functions>>:
[source,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/row.csv-spec[tag=function]
----
