Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Multiple misc fixes to terminology.

* sysroot got an extra explanation as to why it's needed beyond regular cross-compiler libraries.
* hardfloat and softfloat got periods (grammar)
* PIE, PIC, and CRT need to be better explained. Those who know what the full names are know the acronyms, and those that don't need a fuller explanation, and information on how it's relevant.
