Fix typos and grammar in top-level and src/doc documentation

- CONTRIBUTING.md: add missing verb "is"
- INSTALL.md: fix subject-verb agreement ("requires" → "require")
- RELEASES.md: fix 4 issues (previous → previously, remove extra "is",
  add hyphen in Rust-for-Linux, results → result)
- src/doc/not_found.md: fix misspelling ("Standary" → "Standard")
- src/doc/index.md: fix awkward grammar in Embedded Rust Book description

 - The future incompatibility lint `deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name` [has been made into a hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129670). It was used to deny usage of `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` attributes in `#![cfg_attr]`, which required a hack in the compiler to be able to change the used crate type and crate name after cfg expansion.
   Users can use `--crate-type` instead of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = "...")]` and `--crate-name` instead of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_name = "...")]` when running `rustc`/`cargo rustc` on the command line.
   Use of those two attributes outside of `#![cfg_attr]` continue to be fully supported.

 Compatibility Notes

  - We now [disallow setting some built-in cfgs via the command-line](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126158) with the newly added [`explicit_builtin_cfgs_in_flags`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/deny-by-default.html#explicit-builtin-cfgs-in-flags) lint in order to prevent incoherent state, eg. `windows` cfg active but target is Linux based. The appropriate [`rustc` flag](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/command-line-arguments.html) should be used instead.
-- The standard library has a new implementation of `binary_search` which is significantly improves performance ([#128254](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128254)). However when a sorted slice has multiple values which compare equal, the new implementation may select a different value among the equal ones than the old implementation.
