[Bug-dejagnu] typos in dejagnu manual

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hello,

I'm starting to learn dejagnu.  So here's my first feedback: obvious
documentation typos.

Please note that 'dependant' is actually allowed, but the manual uses 
both forms, with 'dependent' being more common, and uniformity just
looks nicer.

Cheers,
Ralf
