Fix six README sentences (closes #565)

Rewrite the six sentences the documents check failed, each checked
against the code. The Sign-in limits section now opens with its rule.
The recovery routine's sentences say it resumes a delivery: it queues a
pending one at once, but gives a retrying one the rest of its wait.
