 Update docs for partial type signatures (#12365)

 * Update the sample error messages. The messages have been reworded and
   reformatted since GHC 7.10.

 * Mention `TypeApplications` in "Where can they occur?"

 * The name of a named wild card is no longer used in the name of a
   resulting type variable. Before: `_foo` => `w_foo`, now: `_foo` => `t`
   or `a`.

 Test Plan: generate the users guide
