GHA/checksrc: expand spellcheck, fix issues found
- codespell: break logic out into its own runnable script. Allowing
  to run it on local machines.
- codespell: install via `pip`, bump to latest version.
- codespell: show version number in CI log.
- codespell: drop no longer needed word exception: `msdos`.
- codespell: include all curl source tree, except `packages` and
  `winbuild`. Drop an obsolete file exclusion.
- add new spellchecker job using the `typos` tool. It includes
  the codespell dictionary and a couple more. Use linuxbrew to install
  it. This takes 10 seconds, while installing via `cargo` from source
  would take over a minute.
- codespell: introduce an inline ignore filter compatible with `cspell`
  Make `typos` recognize it, too. Move single exceptions inline.

Fix new typos found. Also rename variables and words to keep
spellchecking exceptions at minumum. This involves touching some tests.
Also switch base64 strings to `%b64[]` to avoid false positives.

NAME

CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER - OAuth 2.0 access token

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER, char *token);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should point to the null-terminated OAuth 2.0 Bearer Access Token for use with HTTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 and SMTP servers that support the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework.

Note: For IMAP, LDAP, POP3 and SMTP, the username used to generate the Bearer Token should be supplied via the CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) option.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

DEFAULT

NULL

%PROTOCOLS%

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER, "1ab9cb22bf269a7");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
