chore(elisp): clear byte-compile warnings (mail, dashboard, eshell, erc)

Add declare-function/defvar declarations for lazily-loaded package functions and variables so each module compiles cleanly standalone, reflow over-long docstrings, and swap the obsolete erc-server-buffer-p for its named replacement erc-server-or-unjoined-channel-buffer-p (obsolete since 30.1). No behavior change. Two erc setq targets (erc-unique-buffers, erc-generate-buffer-name-function) appear not to be real ERC variables — declared to silence the warning with a NOTE flagging that the intended buffer-naming may not be taking effect.
