Description

The spelling of the word, "judgment" varies across different dialects of English (and possibly other dimensions) as either "judgment" or "judgement". This came up today at Oxide, and Andy did a count and saw that "judgment" (without the "E") is in the majority across illumos-gate. We should update the SpellCheck.py script to favour that spelling.

Testing: the change itself is trivial, but I did a full RTI build (all compilers plus smatch, etc) and observed no binary diffs on a wsdiff. The SpellCheck.py script works. I also modified a single source file adding a trivial comment: "/* use your best judgement */" and observed that a build emitted a cstyle nit. I then reverted that change and observed that a subsequent build produced no such diagnostic.
