…ning. (tgstation#86474)

Reworked description of rebarxbow, and rebarxbow/syndie. Removed
incorrect missfire label on rebarxbow regular variant.
## About The Pull Request

The description for the rebar crossbow is too long-winded, so I made it
succinct.
Fixes a few typos too, and removes a warning about misfire for regular
crossbows that has no business for being there.

What this PR does **not** fix are the recent changes in gun code
lowering the reserve ammo count for all crossbows by one, thanks to some
off-by-one shenanigans that crossbows formerly exploited.
I chose to not include a fix for it in this PR, as it could be
considered a balance change.


## Why It's Good For The Game

Good grammar good, Bad grammar bad. Long text bad, shorter text good.

## Changelog

potential.
