[Findutils-patches] find.texi: uk and other consistency

[Karl Berry]

Hi James,

I'm not sure it's really viable to try to write Texinfo in UK English
(there's a hyphenation problem at least, without running TeX in some
special way), but since evidently find.texi is mostly written that way
now, here is a small patch to make things a little more consistent.
(I don't doubt plenty of infelicities remain, this is just what I
noticed in a quick look.)

Not included in this patch: all those @subsections that don't have
corresponding should really be @subheadings.  Or, probably better, they
should get nodes, since now the nodes end up being hundreds of lines
long.

Sorry I can't easily deal with git and give you the patch that way,
hope this is ok.

Thanks,
k

* find.texi (@copying): add 2011, period outside quotes.
(thoughout): use UK spelling and " -- " convention.
(section names): use @code where needed.
