Subject: [PATCH] lib/min_heap: fix spelling and grammatical errors

The Min Heap API documentation and header file contain a few minor
spelling and grammatical mistakes.

Fix the following:
 - Add a missing period at the end of a sentence in min_heap.rst.
 - Change "customise" to "customize" in min_heap.h for consistency
   with the documentation.
 - Change "on to" to "onto" in the description of min_heap_push.

These changes improve the readability of the API and documentation.
