[PATCH] tools: Fix diverse typos

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 05:22:10 EST

Go over the tools/ files that are maintained in Arnaldo's tree and
fix common typos: half of them were in comments, the other half
in JSON files.

( Care should be taken not to re-import these typos in the future,
if the JSON files get updated by the vendor without fixing the typos. )

No change in functionality intended.
