UI: Fix and improve a few messages

- "Show the result of running commands in the main interface...": add
  punctuation.
- "Re-Installed" -> "Reinstalled" seems more common.
- "increase_" and "decrease_subdivision" in the Grease Pencil
  modal...: use title case instead of snake case for label.
- "Use a automatic number..." -> "an", typo.
- "... points,{} splines": missing space.
- "End Frame is larger than Start Frame": wrong order in error message.
- "Approximate the object as sphere, which diameter is equal to
  thickness the defined...": grammar.
- "Show Seconds" -> "Use Timecode": this option is not necessarily about
  seconds. Suggested by Pablo Vasquez.
- Brightness and contrast node input descriptions: add missing spaces.
- "Gamma controls the relative intensity... full white.": remove
  trailing ".".
