Subject: [PATCH v5] docs: improve introduction wording in howto.rst

The original introduction paragraph was overly long and repetitive.
This patch rewrites it to be clearer and more concise while keeping
the same meaning. It removes redundant phrasing such as "learn how to
become" and improves readability without changing the document's
intent.
