doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and comments
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all
upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is
followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before
"I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence.
The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from
old ChangeLog files):
$ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \
| xargs sed -i \
-e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \
-e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/. \1/g' \
-e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \
-e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g'
