Improve language in intro(8mandos) manual page

* intro.xml (INTRODUCTION): Replace "it" with "the data" to fix bad
                            reference, and clarify that it is the
                            client which continues booting.

      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

167
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command
