Noticed this as part of #4384 but then found a few more occurrences.

The predominant use across all documents is "email" (not hyphenated), but there are a few stragglers that use "e-mail".
Strangely, this is not covered in https://www.w3.org/guide/manual-of-style/ but in various places across W3C the non-hyphenated version is used.

Note: this PR contains changes to both normative and non-normative documents

@mbgower checked with @shawna-slh what the expected outcome of / timeline for https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Style#e-mail_-.3E_email is... she acknowledges that getting a quick decision on that is proving challenging at the moment, but

feel free to accept changes from "e-mail" to "email".
