This is a general style polishing rework that wants to:
- improve consistency of spellings and casing
- drop some to verbose examples that included the whole generated
ifupdown2 config, which is not only not that useful here, but will
also get outdated fast, so it is probably more confusing than
helping at the current development pace. Could be nice in some
reduced form some times in a "inner workings" section
- shorten some examples verbosity by not spelling repetitions of
steps, e.g., for those that one needs to apply to all guests in an
example.
Best to check the changes using the following git flags to avoid noise:
git show -w --word-diff=color --word-diff-regex='\w+'

Target groups and filters have been replaced by notification matchers.
The matcher can match on certain notification properties and route
the notification to a target in case of a match.
This patch updates the docs to reflect these changes.

Expand the existing section on systemd network interface names with a
link to the systemd.net-naming-scheme(7) manpage and some information
about naming scheme versions. Also mention the possibility of
interface naming changes due to a new naming scheme version, or
kernel/driver updates. This happens for quite some users during the
upgrade from PVE 7 to 8.
Further, describe how to pin a specific naming scheme version and how
to override interface names using systemd.link files.
Also, make some formatting fixes to the existing text.

expanding from the two currently existing sentences. In the first one, a
typo VMs -> VM's is fixed. In the second one, "one wants to" is changed
to "you want to", because the sentence already starts with "You can" and
it's active voice.

defaults for it and what to do for deprecated versions.

The header part of the gui did change already a few releases ago.
The user name was moved into a menu button, which now contains more
user specific actions.
So, update the section to document the current layout and ui elements
again correctly.
