Improve target.h & target_ops & xfer_partial descriptions
Working backwards in terms of motivation for the patch: - When accessing memory via the xfer_partial interface, the process that we're accessing is indicated by inferior_ptid. This can be either the same process as current inferior, or a fork child which does not exist in the inferior list. This is not documented currently. This commit fixes that. - For target delegation to work, we must always make the inferior we want to call the target method on, the current inferior. This wasn't documented, AFAICT, so this commit fixes that too. I put that in the intro comment to target_ops. - I actually started writing a larger intro comment to target_ops, as there was seemingly none, which I did find odd. However, I then noticed the description closer to the top of the file. I missed it the first time, because for some reason, that intro comment is no longer at the top of the file, as #includes etc. have been added above it over the years. This commit fixes that too, by moving that intro comment to the top.
