proc.c: documentation for Proc#{call,yield,[]}

	* proc.c: [DOC] fix and improve docs for Proc#{call,yield,[]}:

	  * change order of Document-method directives as workaround for an
	    RDoc rendering problem where the documentation for Proc#call displays
	    a "Document-method: []" code block.  [ruby-core:79887] [Bug #13273]
	  * add missing call-seq and example for Proc#yield
	  * remove pointless cross reference to Proc#yield
	  * update description for handling of extra or missing arguments,
	    improve examples and add cross reference to #lambda?
