Minor wording fixes

Some NEWS entries are tweaked a bit to address complaints about readability
from users.

"udev" is pronounced as /ˈjuːdɛv/, like in "user", hence "a" not "an".

and backward compatibility broken instead on the assumption that
nobody can be affected given the current state of this interface.
* All kernels supported by systemd mix RDRAND (or similar) into the
entropy pool at early boot. This means that on those systems, even if
/dev/urandom is not yet initialized, it still returns bytes that
are at least as high quality as RDRAND. For that reason, we no longer
have reason to invoke RDRAND from systemd itself, which has
historically been a source of bugs. Furthermore, kernels ≥5.6 provide
the getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) interface for returning random bytes
before the entropy pool is initialized without warning into kmsg,
which is what we attempt to use if available. systemd's direct usage
of RDRAND has been removed. x86 systems ≥Broadwell that are running
an older kernel may experience kmsg warnings that were not seen with
250. For newer kernels, non-x86 systems, or older x86 systems, there
should be no visible changes.

* busctl capture now writes output in the newer pcapng format instead
of pcap.
* A udev rule that imported hwdb matches for USB devices with
lowercase hexadecimal vendor/product ID digits was added in systemd
250. This has been reverted, since uppercase hexadecimal digits are
supposed to be used, and we already had a rule for that with the
appropriate match.

Users might need to adjust their local hwdb entries.
