doc: 96 files have "the the" typo

• Version: None
• Platform: None
• Subsystem: None

There are 96 files including a common typo of "the the" in this repository, to be precise, in deps, doc, and tools directory. I assume some of them are 3rd party's and no need to revise, but is there anything that needs to be fixed?

$ ag  'the the' -l | wc -l

[Trott]

All the occurrences in deps would have to be fixed in upstream repositories (if they aren't false positives).

All the occurrences in doc are false positives (e.g., "the then() callback is entered") except for one instance in a CHANGELOG that is a typo inherited from a commit message. That seems unlikely to be changed IMO, but I could be wrong.

That leaves five occurrences in tools, one of which is a false positive ("the theoretically complete").

[ChALkeR]

1. deps and node_modules are third-party dependencies, any documentation/comment mistypes inside those are out of scope here.
2. the then() callback and similar are not the the mistypes.
3. Several more are commits with message like fix occurences of "the the" in the changelog.

Upd: ah, @Trott beat me to it by seconds. 😆

I had spotted a few in the past, which I saved and leveraged for a code & learn activity. :) It is possible that this is a common typo pattern that recur.
