Remove out of date documentation, simpler scope lifetimes
The documentation describing it being a logic bug to access "outer" callback handles when inside an "inner" callback is inaccurate, that was only true when using an older design for handle values. Also, there is no reason to have a separate 'callback lifetime, because 'scope is already invariant and just using 'scope seems equivalent.
