Describe the issue
People get confused with channelCount and friends when applied to a source node like an oscillator.

We should update the description in each source node to say that it's not used.

Where Is It
For example, see the table in https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#OscillatorNode, just before the description of the OscillatorType enum.

Additional Information
Proposal is to update the table to say channelCount, channelCountMode, and channelIntepretation are not used for source nodes. Or link back to the description of each and say there that source nodes don't use it.
