typos in comments and doc strings

[Sam Steingold]

There are quite a few typos in comments and doc strings in bbdb code.
Most can be found by `ispell-comments-and-strings'.
It would be nice if someone with git write access could fix those.
E.g., see appended.
While we are at it, M-x checkdoc is also useful.
