[PATCH] minor doco spelling fixes



Hi, Zsh folks,

Found a couple typos etc in the doco; here's a suggested fix.

- Spelling error in README
- Inconsistent "OS's" vs "OSes" in MACHINES
- Inconsistent "behavior" vs "behaviour" spelling
- Updated URL for Yodl project; it moved off SourceForge

Also, the LICENCE file still says "copyright (c) 1992-2009".

Cheers,
Andrew
