The changes to the file argument of execFile in #4504 make it appear
that execFile requires an absolute or relative path to the executable
file, when it also supports a filename which will be resolved using
$PATH. Although the example makes this clear, assuming there isn't a
node binary in $CWD, it's easy to overlook. This commit clarifies that
point.
It also updates the argument description for execFileSync to match,
since it was overlooked in #4504 and behaves identically.

JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is

Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving
