Documentation: irq-domain.rst: Simple improvements
The improvements include:
* Capitals in headlines.
* Add 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.
