[PATCH docs 0/3] rephrase and fix typos, add notes about QDevice removal

[Nicolas Frey]

Some small typo fixes and a rephrase.

The last patch came out of a quick chat Friedrich and I had. I couldn’t
find anything to link to that actually says you need to remove the
QDevice before removing a cluster node in the relevant sections, so I
added it.

[PATCH pve-docs 3/3] pvecm: add notes about needing to remove QDevice when removing a node

[Nicolas Frey]

there was already an entry for this in the FAQ section later in the
chapter, which could easily be overlooked.

This came up when I was talking to @Friedrich about removing a cluster node
and then not finding the part to link to for needing to remove the QDevice.

IDK if notes are the proper way to link to this section here and whether duplicating
them is OK. After the doc for removing a cluster node was recently split up
(cc52fbaa15d9), I reckoned having it in each section would be fine
