refactor(material/tree): docs updates and rename variables

Make miscelaneous fixes to documentation. Rename variables. Responding
to PR feedback.

 * remove comment about API contract of CdkTreeNodeToggle
 * rename CdkTree#_groups to CdkTree#_ariaSets
 * move documentation about default key manager configuration from
   TreeKeyManagerStrategy interface to TreeKeyManager class.
 * add JSDoc style comments for NoopTreeKeyManager
