jsdoc-style documentation for 'collection' methods
Converted documentation from README to jsdoc-style for respective methods. Currently, only done for 'collection' methods. jsdoc-style documentation - fixed 'collection' methods documentation Only the base functions now contain an example, while the `series` and `limit` versions simply contain a reference to the base function. Fixed styling issue and misspelled tag.

+/**
+ * Applies the function `iteratee` to each item in `coll`, in parallel.
+ * The `iteratee` is called with an item from the list, and a callback for when
+ * it has finished. If the `iteratee` passes an error to its `callback`, the
+ * main `callback` (for the `each` function) is immediately called with the
+ * error.
+ *
+ * Note, that since this function applies `iteratee` to each item in parallel,
+ * there is no guarantee that the iteratee functions will complete in order.

+ * @param {Array|Object} coll - A collection to iterate over.
+ * @param {Function} iteratee - A function to apply to each item
+ * in `coll`. The iteratee is passed a `callback(err)` which must be called once
+ * it has completed. If no error has occurred, the `callback` should be run
+ * without arguments or with an explicit `null` argument. The array index is not
+ * passed to the iteratee. Invoked with (item, callback). If you need the index,
+ * use `eachOf`.
+ * @param {Function} [callback] - A callback which is called when all
+ * `iteratee` functions have finished, or an error occurs. Invoked with (err).
+ * @example
+ *
+ * // assuming openFiles is an array of file names and saveFile is a function
+ * // to save the modified contents of that file:
+ *
+ * async.each(openFiles, saveFile, function(err){
+ * // if any of the saves produced an error, err would equal that error
+ * });
+ *
+ * // assuming openFiles is an array of file names
+ * async.each(openFiles, function(file, callback) {
+ *
+ * // Perform operation on file here.
+ * console.log('Processing file ' + file);
+ *
+ * if( file.length > 32 ) {
+ * console.log('This file name is too long');
+ * callback('File name too long');
+ * } else {
+ * // Do work to process file here
+ * console.log('File processed');
+ * callback();
+ * }
+ * }, function(err) {
+ * // if any of the file processing produced an error, err would equal that error
+ * if( err ) {
+ * // One of the iterations produced an error.
+ * // All processing will now stop.
+ * console.log('A file failed to process');
+ * } else {
+ * console.log('All files have been processed successfully');
