Various changes (#28)
* Small adjustments and others

Small adjustments:
- Corrects capitalization of `Acekard` and `SD card`
- Corrects to American English
Also adds detail about nds-bootstrap screenshots, and redirects nds-bootstrap compatibility question to its FAQ, for consistency's sake.

* Compatibility and nds-bootstrap vs flashcard changes

Compatibility question changes:
- Merges troubleshooting and "Why do I get a white screen" because of redundancy
- Removes mention of changing sound quality, as far as I know this has never been an issue anywhere
- Adds mention of Async card read (using Async for the sake of consistency, unless that's to be changed as well)
- Links to GitHub issues page
-Small detail change on adding to the compatibility list
nds-bootstrap vs flashcard changes:
- Corrects `cartridges` to `Game Cards`
- Adds detail about screenshots and RAM editing

* Add detail about TWiLight Menu++ cheats menu

Also removes a period from a bullet

* Small changes

- Corrects capitalization of `Game Card`
- Corrects `3DS/2DS` to just `3DS`

* Add screenshot/frame advance details

Also
- Adds details on faster/fastest scroll in nds-bootstrap RAM viewer
- Adds detail on changing the in-game menu button combination

* Add detail about custom text color palettes

I think this is also worth adding, even though it's stared under the restrictions

* Decapitalize "custom firmware"

* Add detail about 3D/2D elements

Also corrects capitalization of `GBAtemp`

* Add screenshot controls

Also adds details about screenshots.tar

* Add specific spelling for 3DS as a family of systems
