Subject: [PATCH 03/35] docs: Fix a few typos

There are small typos in:
- examples/analytics/bottle.py
- examples/analytics/js/jquery.flot.selection.js
- examples/async/async.py
- examples/handlers/tiny-proxy.py
- examples/job.py
- splunklib/binding.py
- splunklib/client.py
- tests/test_job.py

Fixes:
- Should read `caught` rather than `catched`.
- Should read `preferable` rather than `preferrable`.
- Should read `parallelism` rather than `paralleism`.
- Should read `instantiate` rather than `instanciate`.
- Should read `first` rather than `frist`.
- Should read `default` rather than `defaut`.
- Should read `available` rather than `avaialble`.
- Should read `assignments` rather than `assignemnts`.
- Should read `also` rather than `allso`.
