The code and description of the "Approach: Iterative" and "Approach: Linear Recursion" were incorrect. They did use the member function `std::string::append(char)` which does not exist. Replace it with `push_back(char)` and adjust the description.
The code in "Approach: Divide and conquer" was incorrect, it did use an invalid parameter name and closing parentheses were missing.
Remove unnecessary semicolons in comments. Fix plural-s errors. Replace "you" with an inclusive "we". Fix name of cppreference link.

PR #1044 did fix an incorrect use of
std::string::append()in the "Approaches" section of the reverse-string exercise.This PR fixes the other places where
std::string::append()has been used incorrectly.It also fixes another incorrect code snippet (in the "Linear Recursion" approach) and a few smaller grammatical issues.
