(core) Update documentation of certain functions

Summary:
- lookupOne/lookupRecords explain `sort_by` param better, and
  link to more detailed article.
- Incorporate a typo fix from Help Center
- Fix the omission of TASTEME never having been documented.

Test Plan: Corresponding update to Help Center can be reviewed at https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-help/pull/351
