Backport of #16954

Remove the practice of starting most error descriptions with "Used when"
or wordier variations.

Change errors of the form:

Used when the type of an asynchronous resource is invalid.

...to:

The type of an asynchronous resource was invalid.

Change errors of the form:

The 'ERR_INVALID_CURSOR_POS' is thrown specifically when a cursor on
a given stream is attempted to move to a specified row without a
specified column.

...to:

A cursor on a given stream cannot be moved to a specified row without
a specified column.
