doc: Libavfilter English cleanup

This aims to standardize the English used in the libavfilter
documentation, describing the same thing in the same way more often,
and significantly reduce the amount of outright errors, including
run-on sentences and sentence fragments.

 Video filters are loaded using the @var{-vf} option passed to
 avconv or to avplay. Filters in the same linear chain are separated by
