Fix grammar and style in “Failed to connect” subsection
- Add the missing article “a” before “Failed to connect” error.
- Use backticks for the error string to follow code formatting:
`Failed to connect`. - Replace “not able to connect” with “cannot connect” for conciseness.

Lowercase “APCUPSD” in the second subsection
The term “APCUPSD” should be lowercase (“apcupsd”) to comply with Home Assistant’s terminology guidelines and resolve the textlint error.

We should align with documentation standards by:
- Using backticks for the error string.
- Adding the missing article “a” before “Failed to connect” error.
- Replacing “is not able to connect” with “cannot connect” for conciseness.
- Using “run” instead of “try running” for a direct instruction.
