Fix stale fail() Step console output to include message argument
The fail() Step section's static output block for the 'stephen' example
omitted the string message argument passed to fail(). The Traversal> and
Parent> lines showed bare fail()/__.fail() instead of the actual rendered
output which includes the error-message text. Updated to match the real
3.7-dev behavior: fail("stephen should exist") and
__.fail("stephen should exist"). Separator lines adjusted to match the
new longest line width.

The code example above exemplifies the latter use case where there is
essentially an assertion that there is a vertex
