Using Clippy as a proper noun when refering to the unique entity Clippy

I was reading some documentation (specially the book) and I notice some few usages of the word `clippy` when refering to the Project/Tool. As we already have in the majority of the documentation, in those cases, Clippy is a proper noun, and because of that should be used capitalized.

This is, for sure, not an exhaustive change: quite the opposity, it was just some cases that I could verify with not so much effort.

changelog: Docs: capitalizing the `clippy` word in some usages.
