Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] docs: iio: adxl345: fix typos and grammar

Correct several grammatical errors, typos, and pluralization issues
throughout the ADXL345 documentation. Key changes include:
- Changing 'generic' to 'general-purpose'
- Correcting 'axis' to 'axes' in multiple tables and descriptions
- Improving phrasing in the device attributes section
- Fixing 'latent' to 'latency' in usage examples
