[HICN-533] Update and format documentation
This patch fixes misspells, improves readability and tries to make the different
source files consistent between each other.
It also updates hiperf usage and hicn + VPP installation (in utils.md) and fixes
some mistakes related to collectd plugins (in telemetry.md).
