PATCH 1/1 introduction: Add missing helping verb

The terminology of Transitional device and driver is missing the helping verb 'is' similar to other terminologies.

Hence, add them to complete the sentence.

I'd rather not add the "is" (and drop the trailing ".", as this is not supposed to be a sentence), as this would read awkwardly. I think it is intended to be:

<xyz> MAY implement:

<list of things>

which does not really ask for a sentence.

Same thing applies to the section right above, where it talks about legacy support; I'd drop the "is" there instead.
