Deployment/S mode: Link & whitespace correction

Description:

As reported in issue ticket #6676 (Broken links), the link URL "S mode
devices" (www.microsoft.com/windows/view-all-devices) returns error 404
unless you access the link from a computer using the locale EN-US (only
existing version of the page, non-localized and non-auto-adjusting).

Thank you to RAJU2529 (VARADHARAJAN K) for reporting this issue.

Changes proposed:

- Add /en-us/ to the URL microsoft.com/windows/view-all-devices
- Remove redundant EOL whitespace
- Consistency: add 1 blank line after the page title and next Heading

Ticket closure or reference:

Ref. #6676 (already closed (prematurely), as an incorrect report)

Windows 10 in S mode is built for [modern management](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/manage-windows-10-in-your-organization-modern-management) which means using [Windows Autopilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-10-autopilot). Windows Autopilot lets you deploy the device directly to a user without IT having to touch the physical device. Instead of manually deploying a custom image, Windows Autopilot will start with a generic PC that can only be used to join the company domain; policies are then deployed automatically through mobile device management to customize the device to the user and the desired environment. Devices are shipped in S mode; you can either keep them in S mode or use Windows Autopilot to switch the device out of S mode during the first run process or later using mobile device management, if desired.
