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

:not_acceptable http.StatusNotAcceptable Response::HTTP_NOT_ACCEPTABLE

The target resource does not have a current representation that would be acceptable to the user agent, according to the proactive negotiation header fields received in the request1, and the server is unwilling to supply a default representation.

The server SHOULD generate a payload containing a list of available representation characteristics and corresponding resource identifiers from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. A user agent MAY automatically select the most appropriate choice from that list. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection, as described in RFC7231 Section 6.4.1.
