Spelling (#1101)
This PR corrects misspellings identified by the [check-spelling
action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/check-spelling) (which is
an evolution of the script I used ages ago when I first made a PR
here...).

The misspellings have been reported at
https://github.com/jsoref/CLI11/actions/runs/12194174338#summary-34017587518

The action reports that the changes in this PR would make it happy:
