doc: fix typos and formatting in CONTRIBUTING, i2p, bitcoin-conf, files
- CONTRIBUTING.md: "Valid areas as" -> "Valid areas are"

- doc/bitcoin-conf.md: "some negating some lists" -> "some negating lists"
- doc/files.md: missing space after comma in "macOS,the"

What changed, and why it matters
This commit fixes four minor typos and spacing issues in documentation files only. There are no code changes and no security implications.
Recommended action
No security action needed. Treat as a normal documentation cleanup commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit is a pure documentation patch touching four markdown files: CONTRIBUTING.md, doc/i2p.md, doc/bitcoin-conf.md, and doc/files.md. Changes are limited to grammar corrections (‘Valid areas as’ → ‘Valid areas are’), removal of a double space, a duplicated word (‘some negating some lists’ → ‘some negating lists’), and a missing comma space. No source code, build scripts, tests, or configuration logic were modified.

In general, negating an option is like setting it to `0` if it is a boolean or integer option, and setting it to an empty string or path or list if it is a string or path or list option.
-However, there are exceptions to this general rule. For example, it is an error to negate some options (e.g. `-nodatadir` is disallowed), and some negated strings are treated like `"0"` instead of `""` (e.g. `-noproxy` is treated like `-proxy=0`), and some negating some lists can have side effects in addition to clearing the lists (e.g. `-noconnect` disables automatic connections in addition to dropping any manual connections specified previously with `-connect=<host>`). When there are exceptions to the rule, they should either be obvious from context, or should be mentioned in usage documentation. Nonobvious, undocumented exceptions should be reported as bugs.

There have been multiple reports of database corruption and data loss when using this filesystem with Bitcoin Core, see [Issue #31454](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31454) for more details.
