Merge #14583: docs: Textual improvements in build docs

Browse Source 
36c8e68585 Various textual improvements in build docs (Martin Erlandsson)

Pull request description:

  While reading the build docs, I found some opportunities for textual improvements (Force of habit, I used to work as a technical writer...)

  * Added a few missing words, should be uncontroversial.

  * Changed/added some punctuation, for better flow and readability.

  * Fixed one Markdown issue, where two list item headings rendered without a line break. (See image)
  This one needs to be verified after a build, I don't have a proper build environment yet.
