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 6: https://projecteuler.net/problem=6
Sum square difference
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)^2 = 55^2 = 3025
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten
natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 - 385 = 2640.
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one
hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
