Subject: [PATCH v2] Documentation: Kunit: Update architecture.rst for minor fixes

Updated the architecture.rst page with the following changes:
-Add missing article _the_ across the document.
-Reword content across for style and standard.
-Update all occurrences of Command Line to
 Command-line across the document.
-Correct grammatical issues, for example, added _it_
 wherever missing.
-Update all occurrences of “via" to either
 use “through” or “using”.
-Update the text preceding the external links and pushed
the full link to a new line for better readability.
-Reword content under the config command to make it
 more clear and concise.
