Merge #1634: Fix some misspellings

3970545 Fix some misspellings (Nicolas Iooss)

Pull request description:

  Hello,

  Some files contained English misspellings or math issues (`lamba` instead of `lambda`), mainly in comments. Fixing them helps readability.

  By the way, the misspellings found in the Wycheproof test vector file were also reported upstream: C2SP/wycheproof#124
