Previously regex simplify function made an attempt to parse string representation of simplified regex.
And it could produce runtime panic due to std lib specification:
```
// Simplify returns a regexp equivalent to re but without counted repetitions
// and with various other simplifications, such as rewriting /(?:a+)+/ to /a+/.
// The resulting regexp will execute correctly but its string representation
// will not produce the same parse tree, because capturing parentheses
// may have been duplicated or removed.
```
This commit ignores simplified regex parsing error and returns back original regex.
It results into possible missing simplification of some niche regex patterns.
But it's extremely rare cases rarely seen in production. So the tradeoff is acceptable.
Fixes victoriaMetrics/victoriaLogs/issues/1112
Another batch of documentation improvements
Fix Spelling in:
- Comments in code
- Displayed strings
One change was in a json file used for the anomaly dashboard in docker,
else no other code was changed.
Some Markdown changes, related to standards:
- URLs
- List numbering
- Empty spaces at the end of a line
### Describe Your Changes
Fix many spelling errors and some grammar, including misspellings in
filenames.
The change also fixes a typo in metric `vm_mmaped_files` to `vm_mmapped_files`.
While this is a breaking change, this metric isn't used in alerts or dashboards.
So it seems to have low impact on users.
The change also deprecates `cspell` as it is much heavier and less usable.

For example, `field:~".+"`, `field:~".*"` or `field:""`
Replace such filters to faster ones. For example, `field:~".*"` is replaced with `*`,
while `field:~".+"` is replaced with `field:*`.
The following regex patterns are optimized:
- literal string match, e.g. "foo"
- prefix match, e.g. "foo.*" and "foo.+"
- substring match, e.g. ".*foo.*" and ".+foo.+"
- alternate values match, e.g. "foo|bar|baz"
