[PATCH] bbclass files: Fix typos/grammar in numerous .bbclass comments.

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>]

Various non-functional changes to a number of .bbclass files:

 * Spelling
 * Grammar
 * Ridiculously long lines

Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>

---

  while perusing numerous .bbclass files to document a few things for
myself, i figured i might as well do some proofreading. all of this is
strictly non-functional changes to comment lines in .bbclass files.
