[PATCH] docs: fix spelling mistakes across multiple directories

[PATCH] docs: fix spelling mistakes across multiple directories

[Soham Metha]

Used codespell to detect spelling mistakes across 5 directories

- Documentation/ABI
- Documentation/accel
- Documentation/accounting
- Documentation/admin-guide
- Documentation/arch

and fixed various simple typos found after filtering out the 
abbreviations, names, and non-english words.

[Randy Dunlap]

Hi,

The changes all LGTM, although maintainers will probably want the patch split
up by subsystem.

Whenever a heading is made longer, the underline for it must also be
increased in length; otherwise it causes a build warning.

thanks.
