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

:forbidden http.StatusForbidden Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN

The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.

A server that wishes to make public why the request has been forbidden can describe that reason in the response payload (if any).

If authentication credentials were provided in the request, the server considers them insufficient to grant access. The client SHOULD NOT automatically repeat the request with the same credentials. The client MAY repeat the request with new or different credentials. However, a request might be forbidden for reasons unrelated to the credentials.

An origin server that wishes to "hide" the current existence of a forbidden target resource MAY instead respond with a status code of 404 Not Found.
