Documentation: irq/concepts: Add commas and reflow
For easier reading, it is always desired to add commas at some places in text. Like before adverbs or after fronted sentences.

What is an IRQ?

===============

5-
An IRQ is an interrupt request from a device.
6-
Currently they can come in over a pin, or over a packet.
7-
Several devices may be connected to the same pin thus
8-
sharing an IRQ.

An IRQ number is an enumeration of the possible interrupt sources on a
