This PR improves the scannability of the Visual Basic error messages table of contents by replacing long descriptive error message names with concise error codes and specific error type designations.
Problem
The VB error messages TOC used lengthy descriptive names that made it difficult to quickly scan and locate specific errors, and had duplicate "Runtime error" entries without numeric codes.
Changes Made
This approach distinguishes between traditional VB6-style numbered runtime errors and modern .NET application framework errors, improving both scannability and accuracy while eliminating confusion from duplicate entries.
