docs: simplify termux installation process (#5078)

* Update termux.md

1) Updated information to use PRoot (simpler than Andronix and the way supported by Termux) to create and access the Debian distro.
2) Added helpful information on using PRoot with your dev environment.
3) Cleaned up spelling, grammar, and made documentation more consistent between sections.

* docs: Termux correct packages to install

Updated some erroneously missing packages (vim and sudo) necessary for multi-user setup.

* docs: cleaned up verbiage

+### Working with PRoot
+
+Debian PRoot Distro Dev Environment
+
+- Since Node and code-server are installed in the Debian PRoot distro, your `~/.ssh/` configuration, `~/.bashrc`, git, npm packages, etc. should be setup in PRoot as well.
+- The terminal accessible in code-server will bring up the filesystem and `~/.bashrc` in the Debian PRoot distro.
+
+Accessing files in the Debian PRoot Distro
+
+- The `/data/data/com.termux/files/home` directory in PRoot accesses the termux home directory (`~`)
+- The `/sdcard` directory in PRoot accesses the Android storage directory, though there are [known issues with git and files in the `/sdcard` path](#git-wont-work-in-sdcard)
+
+Accessing the Debian PRoot distro/Starting code-server
+
+- Run the following command to access the Debian PRoot distro, from the termux shell:
+
+```bash
+proot-distro login debian
+```
+
+- Run the following command to start code-server directly in the Debian PRoot distro, from the termux shell:
+
+```bash
+proot-distro login debian -- code-server
+```
+
+- If you [created a new user](#create-a-new-user), you'll need to insert the `--user <username>` option between `login` and `debian` in the commands above to run as the user instead of root in PRoot.
+
+Additional information on PRoot and Termux
+
+- Additional information on using your Debian PRoot Distro can be [found here](https://github.com/termux/proot-distro#functionality-overview).
