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.

Both British and American spellings are fine in the kernel and do not
need to be fixed.
