Hugo Locurcio 1554fce23c Document Vector2.dot() and Vector3.dot() more extensively
These methods are commonly used in games. It's time to make the
documentation more explicit about them :)

<brief_description>
Vector used for 2D math using floating point coordinates.
</brief_description>
<description>
2-element structure that can be used to represent positions in 2D space or any other pair of numeric values.
It uses floating-point coordinates. See [Vector2i] for its integer counterpart.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector2 will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector2(0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector2 will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].
