Libbacktrace: Correct typos in source files.

This commit fixes typos across multiple libbacktrace source files.

This commit resolves typos in various files within the libbacktrace directory, including allocfail.sh and elf.c. These changes improve code readability and maintainability.

In Details

This commit addresses typos in libbacktrace, which provides a standardized way to create backtraces in C/C++ programs. The fixes affect the elf.c file, responsible for parsing ELF binaries, and the allocfail.sh script, used for testing memory allocation failures. These changes enhance code clarity.

For Context

This commit cleans up typos in libbacktrace. Libbacktrace is a library used to generate stack traces, which show the sequence of function calls that led to a particular point in the program. Stack traces are useful for debugging. Typos in the code, while not functional bugs, can make the code harder to read and maintain.
