Use American spelling in comments, docstrings, and page text

LMFDB uses American spelling, but a number of British forms had
accumulated: behaviour, centre/centred, colour, favourite, fibre,
judgement, labelled/labelling, amongst, whilst, acknowledgements, and
the -ise family (initialise, normalise, renormalise, factorise,
recognise, prioritise, optimise, standardise, desynchronise).

Two of these were also wrong on the facts.  The CONTRIBUTORS.yaml header
pointed at /acknowledgement, but the route is /acknowledgment (app.py).
And abstract groups was the only section of roughly twenty-five offering
"Source and acknowledgements"; every other one already said
"acknowledgments".

Prose only: no identifier is renamed here.  Left alone deliberately are
"grey" (a valid matplotlib color name, and the spelling the plotting code
already uses), the "Catalogue of Lattices" (a proper name, and a knowl
id), the Centre... institution names in workshops.html, maths.* URLs and
e-mail addresses, the sympow readme quoted in symL, and the vendored
snap.svg/markitup JavaScript.
