docs/installation: typo fix, clarification 

- Fix typo in rules path
 - Fix capitalisation.
 - `udevadm control --reload-rules` is unnecessary[1].
 - `adduser` is Debian-specific, use the more portable `gpasswd`.
 - No need to wait 10 seconds before re-inserting.
 - After adding to group, user must re-login.

automatically (it will switch to root when necessary), or you can do all the
required steps by hand, as the root user:
1. copy `rules.d/99-logitech-unfiying-receiver.rules` from Solaar to
`/etc/udev/rules.d/`
1. Copy `rules.d/99-logitech-unifying-receiver.rules` from Solaar to
`/etc/udev/rules.d/`. udev will automatically pick up this file using
inotify.
By default, the rule makes the Unifying Receiver device available for r/w by
all users belonging to the `plugdev` system group (standard Debian/Ubuntu
By default, the rule allows all members of the `plugdev` group to have
read/write access to the Unifying Receiver device. (standard Debian/ Ubuntu
group for pluggable devices). It may need changes, specific to your
particular system's configuration. If in doubt, replacing `GROUP="plugdev"`
with `GROUP="<your username>"` should just work.
2. run `udevadm control --reload-rules` to let the udev daemon know about the
new rule
3. physically remove the Unifying Receiver, wait 10 seconds and re-insert it
2. Physically remove the Unifying Receiver and re-insert it.
This is necessary because if the receiver is already plugged-in, it already
has a `/dev/hidraw?` device node, but with the old (`root:root`) permissions.
Plugging it again will re-create the device node with the right permissions.
4. make sure your desktop users are part of the `plugdev` group, by running
`adduser <linux user> plugdev` as root
3. Make sure your desktop users are part of the `plugdev` group, by running
`gpasswd $USER plugdev` as root. If these users were not assigned to the
group before, they must re-login for the changes to take effect.
