Subject: [PATCH v2 55/57] docs: irq-domain.rst: Simple improvements

The improvements include:
* Capitals in headlines.
* Added commas: for easier reading, it is always desired to add commas
  at some places in text. Like before adverbs or after fronted
  sentences.
* 3rd person -> add 's' to verbs.
* End some sentences with period and start a new one. Avoid thus heavy
  sentences.
