Fix a couple of typos in the v2.39.0 release notes
I cheated: I used VS Code's "Code Spell Checker" ;-)

Cheating is good. Automation is good. Thanks.

I'd scatch this, as we'd rather keep a spelling that we can even
find at https://m-w.com/dictionary/miscompute without the dash in
between.

Thanks. 'h' and 'n' not just sit next to each other on my keyboard,
they look somewhat similar ;-)

I dunno. Even without trying to get accurate counts, we can see the
general trend of which one we prefer:
$ git grep -e 'pathname' Documentation ':!Documentation/RelNotes' | wc -l
124
$ git grep -e 'path name' Documentation ':!Documentation/RelNotes' | wc -l
28
In the above, RelNotes/ subhierarchy is excluded to avoid counting _my_
preference too much.
I didn't manage to find any authoritative reference, but the snippets
given on a query
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=%22pathname%22%20vs%20%22path%20name%22
were fun. I even saw some claims that "pathnames are sometimes
spelled as path names", which is pretty much in line with what I saw
in these snippets.

Thanks. That's another good one.
