Fix minor typos and update marketing copy.
Correct spelling mistakes in the AUTHORS and DISCLAIMER files, and update the README.markdown file to credit Illumos and mention that the ZPL is finished. The README.markdown file is also the first impression for a handful of new users that discover ZoL through a web search because it doubles as the splash page for the Github repository. The build blurbs are therefore removed because these people should be encouraged to visit the regular home page before installing the product. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1366
