Fix style of the first ten solutions for Project Euler (#3242)
* Fix style of the first ten solutions for Project Euler

- Unify the header docstring, and add reference URLs to wikipedia
  or similar
- Fix docstrings to be properly multilined
- Add newlines where appropriate
- Add doctests where they were missing
- Remove doctests that test for the correct solution
- fix obvious spelling or grammar mistakes in comments and
  exception messages
- Fix line endings to be UNIX. This makes two of the files seem
  to have changed completely
- no functional changes in any of the solutions were done
  (except for the spelling fixes mentioned above)

* Fix docstrings and main function as per Style Guide

Project Euler Problem 1: https://projecteuler.net/problem=1
Multiples of 3 and 5
If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5,
we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.
