Further prose tweaks

move the sentence about not double-initialising autoplaying carousels to the callout right at the top
instead of talking about `data-bs...` attributes, talk about the "option" instead, as authors may be setting these not via data attributes, but at instatiation time with options in the constructor
remove the incorrect statement about pausing when keyboard focus is in the carousel

 For performance reasons, carousels must be manually initialized using the [carousel constructor method](#methods). Without initialization, some of the event listeners (specifically, the events needed touch/swipe support) will not be registered until a user has explicitly activated a control or indicator.

 Use data attributes to easily control the position of the carousel. `data-bs-slide` accepts the keywords `prev` or `next`, which alters the slide position relative to its current position. Alternatively, use `data-bs-slide-to` to pass a raw slide index to the carousel `data-bs-slide-to="2"`, which shifts the slide position to a particular index beginning with `0`.
