[Dwarf-discuss] Typos in 250408.1

[Ron Brender]

David Anderson reported a few spelling and other errors in the recent
distribution
of 250408.1 Replace composite locations & DW_OP_overlay with mapping lists.
In revising it and further review I found a few issues to correct.
Hopefully the result
will be a bit clearer and easier to understand.

There are no bit changes and what changes there are highlighted in light
blue.
