doc/rados: erasure-code-lrc corrections

- Clarified / corrected jerasure recovery characterization cf. https://library.eecs.utk.edu/storage/125phpw0xFqAut-cs-07-603.pdf
- Capitalization
- Word choice:  OSDs are discrete / cardinal, so "fewer" instead of  "less"
- Reworked a few phrases to be less stilted

With the *jerasure* plugin, when an erasure coded object is stored on
multiple OSDs, recovering from the loss of one OSD requires reading
from all the others. For instance if *jerasure* is configured with
*k=8* and *m=4*, losing one OSD requires reading from the eight
others to repair.

The *lrc* erasure code plugin creates local parity chunks to enable
recovery using fewer surviving OSDs. For instance if *lrc* is configured with
*k=8*, *m=4* and *l=4*, it will create an additional parity chunk for
every four OSDs. When a single OSD is lost, it can be recovered with
only four OSDs instead of eight.
