We had previously been ignoring all our custom N4xx hacking.py errors. This fixes all the N401 errors "doc strings should not start with a space" and reduces the ignore set down to N402 only "single line docstrings should end with period". It also fixes the N401 parser to catch only docstrings, and not tripple quoted string blocks used later on in a function. Clean up a few of the more crazy uses of """ in our code Clean up additional funky comments to make indents a bit more consistent, and pull in lines when possible.
