strings: clarify usage of Title and ToTitle

This is intended to help clear up confusion around the usage of the
Title and ToTitle functions. It includes a link to define title case
to distinguish it from upper case. It also includes an additional
example for the ToTitle function to showcase the difference in behavior
between it and the Title function.

Fixes #33302
