Fix several docstring inaccuracies in langchain-core and update outdated
LangSmith URLs across three README files.
**Docstring fixes (libs/core):**
- `tap_output_iter`: docstring says "async iterator" but method accepts
sync `Iterator`
- `agenerate_from_stream`: docstring says "Iterator" but method accepts
`AsyncIterator`
- `BaseLLM.OutputType`: docstring says "input type" but property returns
output type
- Grammar: "or deprecated" → "or be deprecated", "relies" → "rely",
"whose the" → "whose"
**URL fixes (libs/core, libs/langchain, libs/langchain_v1):**
- Updated `smith.langchain.com` → `www.langchain.com/langsmith` (root
README already uses the correct URL)
Verified with `make lint` and `make format` in libs/core — no new issues
introduced. Changes are docs-only with no code logic impact.
*This PR was created with assistance from an AI coding tool.*
it looks scary but i promise it is not
improving documentation consistency across core. primarily update
docstrings and comments for better formatting, readability, and
accuracy, as well as add minor clarifications and formatting
improvements to user-facing documentation.
