<issue_title>API documentation debt - Microsoft.Extensions.FileProvider</issue_title>
<issue_description>Area owners: @maryamariyan@carlossanlop@jozkee

The APIs in the list below are missing some or all of their documentation. Please add the missing documentation directly in triple slash comments in source. We will make sure it gets ported to dotnet-api-docs after it's merged.

Make sure to follow the documentation guidelines defined in the dotnet-api-docs wiki:
https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/wiki

Also please add me as a PR reviewer.

Community contributions are welcome.

Notes:

• The namespaces need to be documented directly in dotnet-api-docs.
• Some of the APIs are obsolete, so I'll let area owners decide if they want to still document them or skip them. If you opt for documenting them, please do it directly in dotnet-api-docs.</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Add XML documentation for the members mentioned in the issue that still don't have it.</agent_instructions>

Pull request overview

This PR updates XML documentation across the Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.* implementations to use more consistent constructor phrasing and clearer parameter descriptions, and adds explicit parameterless constructors where documentation is now provided.

Changes:

• Standardize constructor XML docs to “Initializes a new instance of the … class …”.
• Clarify several parameter descriptions (e.g., filters, disposing, and callback/state parameters).
• Add explicit parameterless constructors (with docs) for NullFileProvider and NotFoundDirectoryContents.

/ba-g This is effectively a docs-only change, the failures shouldn't be related.
