[javascript/en] Minor changes to formatting, prototype explanations
- Made a comment a complete sentence, to match the style of the rest of the document. - Removed discussion of for/in over Arrays, since it's a can of worms, and for/of is more appropriate if ES6 operators are available. - Reworded introduction to prototypes, and moved it with the rest of the prototype documentation.
