[pbs-devel] [PATCH pbs-docs] introduction: language improvement (fix typos, grammar, wording)

[Dylan Whyte <d.whyte@proxmox.com>]

Fix typos and grammatical errors.
Reword some sentences for better readability.
Clean up the list found under "Software Stack", so that it maintains a consistent
style throughout.
