[PATCH iproute2 0/2] Fix some more typos in docs and comments

[Andrea Claudi]

Time for some start-of-the-year cleanup :)

Using codespell, fix most of the typos in iproute2 docs and comments,
except for some false positives. I didn't bother to report a Fixes tag
for all the typos, but I can do that if needed.

This document reads more like a newsgroup article or something from a
zine than a formal piece of documentation. Even in this excerpt we see
an uncapitalized "i" and a "weve", and there are many issues like this
elsewhere. Fixing it feels a bit futile, plus I kinda like the
slice-of-history nature of the document :) But yeah, the fix is correct.

I am thinking about removing all the stuff in doc/actions.
It is in rough shape and doesn't really provide more info than is
available elsewhere. My preference is to have information in only
one place the man pages.

Don't bother fixing this file, it will be dropped in next release.

BTW, I wouldn't spell it "useable" myself, but I think it is not
incorrect.
