Fixed the typo, and changed the end-bit description for bitlists: it is confusing to say N when N is already used to describe the bitlist limit, which is different and is a constant.

There are plans to move out the SSZ spec description, and better explain the finer details for implementers. However, I do think it is useful to include this PR and see how it is received by implementers, to improve the SSZ spec in the future based on their feedback.
