Make the text for `pvesm scan` and `pvesm add` command examples more
consistent by introducing `pvesm scan` with "You can get ... with", as
it is already done for other storage plugins, and changing from past
tense to present tense in existing descriptions for the `pvesm add` as
recommended in the Technical Writing Style Guide for instructions [0].

While at it, replace the term "share" with the more appropriate
"datastore" for the example in the PBS section.
