Current Debian lintian tool flagged several (more) spelling errors, so
add them so they can hopefully be prevented in the future.

If both "mistake" version and "correction" version are the same, a
warning message is created by checkpatch which is impossible to fix.
But it was noticed that Colan Ian King created a commit e6c0a0889b
("ALSA: aloop: Fix spelling mistake "synchronization" ->
"synchronization"") which suggests that this spelling mistake was fixed
by replacing the word "synchronization" with itself. But the actual
diff shows that the mistake in the code was "sychronization". It is
rather likely that the "mistake" in spelling.txt should have been the
latter.

Misspelling 'prohibited' is quite common in the real world, although
surprisingly not so much in the Linux Kernel. In addition to fixing the
typo we may as well add it to the spelling checker.
Also adding the present participle (prohibiting).

The RISC-V architecture has a register named the "Supervisor Exception
Program Counter", or "sepc". This abbreviation triggers checkpatch.pl's
misspelling detector, resulting in noise in the checkpatch output. The
risk that this noise could cause more useful warnings to be missed seems
to outweigh the harm of an occasional misspelling of "spec". Thus drop
the "sepc" entry from the misspelling list.
