    mpfrlint: check "zeroes"; associated fixes in various files. · 66bde2ca

    Contrary to "zeroed" and "zeroing", which are sometimes used, "zeroes"
    as a verb (third-person singular) is rare in practice. Most often, this
    word appears as a noun (plural of "zero") instead of "zeros", which is
    the most common spelling and what we should use. So let's warn about it
    (in case of false positive, we should add an exception with "grep -v").
    
    Note: that's why in SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists)[*], "zero"
    is in english-words.10 and "zeros" in english-words.20, but "zeroes" is
    only in *variant_2-words.20 (as a variant of the plural of "zero") and
    special-hacker.50 (as a verb).
    
    → 10 fixes in various files (all the occurrences were the noun).
