Documentation: doc-guide: fixes to sphinx.rst
Various fixes to sphinx.rst: - eliminate a double-space between 2 words - grammar/wording - punctuation - call rows in a table 'rows' instead of 'columns' (or does Sphinx call everything a column?) - It seems that "amdfonts" should be "amsfonts". I can't find any amdfonts.
