help-docs: Standardize on "corner of the app" instead of "...screen". The phrasing "corner of the screen" wouldn't be accurate when the user is doing a split screen or if the window or app is not taking up the whole screen. Also, the use of "lower/upper" and "top/bottom" is not consistent. This standardizes on "corner of the app" and "bottom/top" when referring to the location of app features on Desktop, Web, or Mobile.

help-docs: Use `<kbd>` HTML elements for references to keyboard keys. Updates references to keyboard keys in the help center docs to use `<kbd>` HTML elements, which also means updating them to be as the key would appear on a keyboard. Previously, uppercase and lowercase letters were used to indicate when/if the `Shift` key was being used, and even that was not consistent throughout the documentation. For CSS styling, adds a similar rule for `<kbd>` elements that is used in `/static/styles/app_components.css`. And updates the CSS class used in `/static/js/portico/help.js` for `adjust_mac_shortcuts` accordingly. Also, takes advantage of revising these pages for making small updates for current help center documentation practices.
