Clarify explanation of rolling updates
I was tripped up while reading the paragraph that explains what a rolling update is and how it works. This commit makes some small phrasing and grammatical changes to make the explanation easier to read. Importantly, it replaces the word "updates" with "replaces", since rolling updates create *new* pods which replace the old ones, rather than updating the current pods.

<p>In the previous module we scaled our application to run multiple instances. This is a requirement for performing updates without affecting application availability. By default, the maximum number of Pods that can be unavailable during the update and the maximum number of new Pods that can be created, is one. Both options can be configured to either numbers or percentages (of Pods).

In Kubernetes, updates are versioned and any Deployment update can be reverted to a previous (stable) version.</p>
