While working on exercism/perl5#328, I noticed that the description of robot-name mixed singular and plural. This PR changes robot-name/description.md to use singular forms consistently throughout. I also changed "boot up" to "turn on" in hopes of making it easier for non-native English speakers to understand the text.

This is my first contribution to this project - thank you for considering this PR!

Use singular forms consistently throughout robot-name/description.md

Arguably most native English speakers would have no trouble using the original form -- the implication is that all robots (plural) end up with their own (singular) name assignment -- however I can see how this copy change would improve readability for people without English esoteric knowledge, so I approve.
