Samuel Ryan d8a693bf27 Remove markdown line limit (#52)
* Removes line length limit from Status Code Markdown

This will make the data easier to use when we develop the API, it needs
to be consistent, arbitrary new lines (especially in text format) will
be a major issue, so some sort of workaround would have to be
implemented, easier to simply fix the source files.

* Removes line length limit from misc. Markdown files

4 421 Misdirected Request
Rails HTTP Status Symbol
:misdirected_request

The request was directed at a server that is not able to produce a response. This can be sent by a server that is not configured to produce responses for the combination of scheme and authority that are included in the request URI.

Clients receiving a 421 Misdirected Request response from a server MAY retry the request -- whether the request method is idempotent or not -- over a different connection. This is possible if a connection is reused1or if an alternative service is selected ALT-SVC.

This status code MUST NOT be generated by proxies.

A 421 response is cacheable by default, i.e., unless otherwise indicated by the method definition or explicit cache controls2.
