Jan Engelhardt 72f4d9669c man: wording and grammar updates
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma
placement fixes…

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename>
is a generator that translates
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> into native systemd
units early at boot and when configuration of the
system manager is reloaded. This will create
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
units as necessary.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename>
implements the <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators">generator
specification</ulink>.</para>
