Improve method documentation

[leemon]

Added patch to improve the method docs for the widget(), update(), form(), and __construct() methods in the WP_Nav_Menu_Widget class.

Hi @leemon,

Thanks for the patch!

• For this particular widget, the class and methods were introduced in 3.0.0, so that version should be used instead of 2.8.0

Also, as mentioned in #34027:

Just a couple of notes:

• Let's go with the vernacular of something like "the current {type} widget instance" instead of "a particular instance of a widget". Being general in the WP_Widget base class is fine, but in this context, we can be more specific. For example:

 * Handles updating settings for the current Text widget instance.

• Notice I inserted the type of widget, in this case "Text", and more specifically mentioned updating the settings which is what the update() method does.
• The same sort of advice goes along with any other method in the class. The idea is to avoid simple copy pasta and actually get specific :-)
