Summary

Fix 11 documentation defects across 5 converted wiki pages.

Cited by review:

  • wiki/VBoxLogging.md: two leftover Trac [url label] links that render literally in markdown -> converted to [label](url). The fix shape is taken from line 10 of the same file, which was already converted correctly.
  • wiki/Licensing_FAQ.md: about the the -> about the
  • wiki/Porting_VirtualBox.md: the closes existing port and look for -> the closest existing port and looking for; the platform closes to yours -> the platform closest to yours
  • wiki/DnDDebug.md: the actual drag an drop operation -> drag and drop (line 17 of the same page already spells it correctly); does not contain and verbose -> does not contain any verbose (x2, both rows of the troubleshooting table)
  • wiki/Mac_OS_X_build_instructions.md: either enabling loading of unsigned kexts -> either enable ... (parallel with the or disable SIP branch four lines down); disable SIP all together -> disable SIP altogether; make sure the modules loads successfully -> the modules load

Additional, not separately cited (same file, same defect):

  • wiki/VBoxLogging.md lines 53 and 71 carry the same leftover Trac [url label] syntax. Fixing only two of the four in one file would have looked arbitrary, so all four are converted here.

Deliberately not changed:

  • etc at wiki/VBoxLogging.md:60 was flagged as needing a period. etc appears as a word four times across the site and none of them carries a period, so this is a consistent house convention rather than an error.
  • A report of truncated text in this file was wrong: the sentence lives in wiki/Guest_resizing.md and is complete there.

Documentation only - no functional changes, no build or template files touched. Edits were applied byte-wise with per-file occurrence-count and length-delta assertions; the diff is exactly 13 changed lines across 5 files.

Commits are signed off (git commit -s) per the Oracle Contributor Agreement requirement.

Cited by review:
- wiki/VBoxLogging.md: two leftover Trac '[url label]' links converted to
  markdown, matching the already-converted link on line 10 of the same file
- wiki/Licensing_FAQ.md: 'about the the' -> 'about the'
- wiki/Porting_VirtualBox.md: 'the closes existing port and look' ->
  'the closest existing port and looking'; 'platform closes to yours' ->
  'platform closest to yours'
- wiki/DnDDebug.md: 'drag an drop' -> 'drag and drop'; 'does not contain and
  verbose' -> 'does not contain any verbose' (x2)
- wiki/Mac_OS_X_build_instructions.md: 'either enabling' -> 'either enable'
  (parallel with the following 'or disable'); 'all together' -> 'altogether';
  'the modules loads' -> 'the modules load'

Also fixed (same file, same defect, not separately cited):
- wiki/VBoxLogging.md lines 53 and 71: the two remaining leftover Trac
  '[url label]' links

Documentation only - no functional changes.
