Cleanup Delegate docs (#8956)

- Delete mentions of MemberAccessException. This exception has not been thrown by these methods since .NET Framework 2.0. It could have been thrown in some cases in .NET Framework 1.x that is not a relevant information anymore.
- Delete documentation of other .NET Framework 1.x specific quirks.
- Fix list of exceptions thrown by DynamicInvoke method.

  For more information on delegate binding, see the <xref:System.Delegate.CreateDelegate%28System.Type%2CSystem.Object%2CSystem.Reflection.MethodInfo%2CSystem.Boolean%29> method overload.  
   
-> [!NOTE]
->  In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, a delegate can represent a method only if the signature of the method exactly matches the signature specified by the delegate type. Thus, only the first and third bullets in the preceding list are supported, and the first bullet requires an exact type match.  
-  
  When a delegate represents an instance method closed over its first argument (the most common case), the delegate stores a reference to the method's entry point and a reference to an object, called the target, which is of a type assignable to the type that defined the method. When a delegate represents an open instance method, it stores a reference to the method's entry point. The delegate signature must include the hidden `this` parameter in its formal parameter list; in this case, the delegate does not have a reference to a target object, and a target object must be supplied when the delegate is invoked.  
   
  When a delegate represents a static method, the delegate stores a reference to the method's entry point. When a delegate represents a static method closed over its first argument, the delegate stores a reference to the method's entry point and a reference to a target object assignable to the type of the method's first argument. When the delegate is invoked, the first argument of the static method receives the target object. This first argument must be a reference type.
