Merge #271

271: Minor improvements to wording r=reitermarkus a=spl

* Fix a typo in "QEMU bug sand"
* Add a link for QEMU
* Clarify and simplify various other things about the wording

The diff looks worse than the changes are. I tried to keep to the 80-column width since it looked like the rest of the text was that way. GitHub's “rich diff” seems to help here.
