Consistently use sentence casing, fix a typo, shorten verbose items.

This commit continues the work to conform to the Awesome List style
guidelines. In this commit, item descriptions have been checked to
ensure they use sentence casing (first letter of the description must be
capitalized), a typo ("forenisic" -> "forensic") was fixed, and several
overly long descriptions that read too much like marketing material were
shortened to a single sentence for simplicity.
