Fix a few typos and small problems on the code search cheat sheet page (

* Fix a few typos and small problems on the page

I was just reading the page to learn about the search syntax, spotted a few problems, and decided to fix them to improve this page.

For the types, I used https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_search/reference/queries as a source.

* Update markdown for links

 Sourcegraph is a universal code search tool, enabling you to search across both open source and your own private code repositories. Code search can help you onboard onto new codebases, contribute to open source, find bugs and error messages, understand dependency libraries, and more.

 Types define the scope of code search. A search scope consists of commits, diffs, symbols, repos, paths and files. It is typically used alongside other search commands to further narrow search results.

 A `type` scope can use the following commands, which will restrict search to the following:
-* `commit` — commits to a repository
-* `diff` — show diffs(https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff), or changes, within a repository
-*`repo` — repositories available to you
-* `files` — returns files
