[wwwdocs] Fix grammar in Android entry of 4.6 release notes

[Gerald Pfeifer]

I must have missed this when this entry was added in May; the patch
below, which I just applied, adds "the" in a couple of places.  It
also removes one use of "Linux" where it's not necessary (since this
is the Linux subsection).

Maxim, I am wondering, since when not refering to just the kernel we
are supposed to use GNU/Linux, should this be changed here, or is the
kernel the only thing Android uses from the GNU side?  Or, how about
just changing this to

   <h3 id="android">Android</h3>

?

Thank you for fixing the entry.

Kernel is not the only thing Android uses from GNU, but it's close to 
that.  I think changing the header to "Android" would look better, I 
can't say why I didn't write so in the first place.

Thanks,

Thanks for the background.   Let's change names then. ;-)

Installed.
