improve docstrings for autoarray/fit package

- fit_util.py: add docstring to `to_new_array` decorator; remove spurious
  `mask` param from `residual_map_from` and `normalized_residual_map_from`;
  fix wrong Parameters in `chi_squared_with_mask_fast_from` (was listing
  `chi_squared_map`, now lists the actual params: data/mask/model_data/noise_map);
  fix three "Returnss" typos; fix "o the" typo in `log_evidence_from`
- fit_dataset.py: add docstrings to `_xp`, `mask`, `grids`, `data`,
  `noise_map`, `figure_of_merit`, `reduced_chi_squared`; remove wrong
  Parameters section from `log_evidence` property; fix "evey" typo
- fit_imaging.py: add docstrings to `data` and `blurred_image`; fix "evey" typo
- fit_interferometer.py: fix `__init__` parameters (remove non-parameter items
  `model_data`/`inversion`, fix `MaskedInterferometer` → `Interferometer`);
  add docstrings to `mask`, `transformer`, and all seven `dirty_*` properties;
  fix `log_evidence` wrong Parameters section; fix "evey" typo
