Public API Changes
The refactoring to core/Ros.js might break some applications. However, the proposed changes would make the public API more straightforward in two ways:

  • The implementation code is now aligned with the public API as specified in the docstring. I feel that this is important to minimize possible future confusion over the differences between the API described in the docstring versus the actual implementation.
  • For the getNodeDetails method, the callback function signature now remains the same, whether there is a failedCallback function defined or not. Previously, the function signature differs between the two, which might lead to further confusion.

Description
This PR standardizes and improves the docstring, along with a few other small things.

More specifically, this PR does the following (in rough order of significance):

  • Add parameter and return types to docstrings.
  • Add proper indication of optional parameters to the relevant docstrings.
  • Rephrase some docstrings to make them clearer.
  • Fix some typos in the docstring.
  • Add proper capitalization to docstring.
  • Method docstrings that start with a verb are standardized to use verbs without the -s suffix.

Additionally, there are some non-docstring changes (again, in rough order of significance):

  • Slightly refactor core/Ros.js to align the callback parameters with the ones specified in the corresponding docstrings. Tests are also updated to follow the new callback function signatures.
  • Align the parameter names of the methods setSucceeded, setAborted, and sendFeedback in actionlib/SimpleActionServer.js with the respective docstrings.
  • Remove dead code in actionlib/ActionListener.js (the options timeout, omitFeedback, omitStatus, and omitResult are not used there).
  • Lint some unnecessary whitespace lines in actionlib/SimpleActionServer.js and core/SocketAdapter.js.

Breaking public API is for me a no-no. It means that every roslib application that has ever been made must now be upgraded.

Standardize and improve docstrings is very welcome. Maybe you could split your PR in 2?

@jamestiotio Thanks for your efforts. Like @Rayman said the changes in the documentation is very welcome.

I think any breaking change is not accepted. As I don't plan any major version bump any time soon (and not so soon as well).

Breaking public API is for me a no-no.

Understood. In that case, I have reverted the breaking changes. Essentially, I have aligned the docstrings to simply follow the implementation as the source of truth.

To avoid confusion, I used the @also tag for the getNodeDetails method in core/Ros.js to specify the two different possible callback function signatures. Do let me know if there is a better way to handle this.
