Remove incorrect & potentially confusing references to Euler

e is referred to as Euler’s number, so technically the MATH_EXP description in VisualScript doc was not incorrect, though could potentially lead to confusion.

e is different from Euler’s constant however, making the existing GDScript exp & VisualScriptMathConstant descriptions nvalid.
