Sergio Campamá 32fadc0d49 Migrating documentation of the ObjectiveC runtime code to appledoc. (#1867)
Work for #1866 

Migrates all the public class docs over to appledoc format.  While Xcode is fine with blank lines in `///` comments, appledoc (used by cocoadocs) isn't and was leaving a bunch of info off the doc pages.

The generator still needs to be updated to do this also; that will be a follow up CL.
