[PATCH] Spelling fixes for Documentation/

The attached patch fixes the following spelling errors in Documentation/
- double "the"
- Several misspellings of function/functionality
- infomation
- memeory
- Recieved
- wether
and possibly others which I forgot ;-)
Trailing whitespaces on the same line as the typo are also deleted.
