Fix typos and reword some sentences in FAQs (#11546)
* Fix minor typo in "General FAQ" "want to do brand it with QMK" -> "want to brand it with QMK" * Reword some of "Debugging FAQ" & "Miscellaneous FAQ". Mostly grammatical wording of some parts and missing capitalization

## Can't Read Column of Matrix Beyond 16
|

Use `1UL<<16` instead of `1<<16` in `read_cols()` in [matrix.h] when your columns goes beyond 16.
|
||||
|
||||
In C `1` means one of [int] type which is [16 bit] in case of AVR so you can't shift left more than 15. You will get unexpected zero when you say `1<<16`. You have to use [unsigned long] type with `1UL`.
