01dd2fbf0d typo fixes
Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

568e0c1119 powerpc: Remove obsolete prototype
The include/asm-powerpc/paca.h file has a prototype for a function that
does not exist any more; its name is setup_boot_paca.  This function was
removed in commit 4ba99b97da, so its
prototype should have been removed at that time too.

* Convert files to UTF-8.

  * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

  * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)
