* docs/logging.html.in: Fix spelling and grammar.

This quickly grew into something large enough that I no longer
feel comfortable applying it under the obvious rule, even though
it only touches documentation.

           the message priority is compared to the filter priority, if lower
           the message is discarded, if higher the message is output. If
           no filter matches, then a general priority level is applied to
-          all remaining messages. This allows to capture for example all
-          debug messages for the QEmu driver, but otherwise only allow

           output defines where to send the message, they can also filter
           based on the priority, for example it may be useful to output
