Eliminate "boxed" wording in `std::error::Error` documentation

In commit 29403ee, documentation for the methods on `std::any::Any` was
modified so that they referred to the concrete value behind the trait
object as the "inner" value. This is a more accurate wording than
"boxed": while putting trait objects inside boxes is arguably the most
common use, they can also be placed behind other pointer types like
`&mut` or `std::sync::Arc`.

This commit does the same documentation changes for `std::error::Error`.
