Fix doc build

Most notably, taskflow is hitting the sphinx issue
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/2549 which causes a
spurious warning that breaks the build with -W.  There is a
workaround posted in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31784830/sphinx-ivar-tag-goes-looking-for-cross-references
to move :ivar: docstrings to inline comments on the member variable
itself.  This is not ideal because it causes the docs to render
differently from :ivar:, but until the sphinx bug is fixed it will
allow us to keep documenting the problematic variables.

There was also a problem with one of the doctests because the
output had changed.  That is now fixed.

I also noticed a typo in one of the parameter descriptions so that
is fixed too.
