[docs]: Fix content nits.
Use declarative sentence when describing the device description file's
`papersize` directive, to better parallel other entries. Stop using
"physical" to characterize the output medium; it's unnecessary and
invites confusion over whether a "physical" medium is actual paper or
what a PDF viewing application or web browser renders. Tighten wording.
