Pod "banned words" check?

As a British speaker, I often unwittingly write words like
"unrecognised" in Perl code, only to later find that we standardised ^W
standardized on US English spelling, and have to fix it.

  (case in point: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23985)

I'm sure I'm not the only person, nor is this the only problematic word.
For example, I'm forever having to remember if we prefer "compiletime"
or "compile-time". The list goes on...

I'm considering making a new t/porting/ test to remind me (and others)
about such things. Do we have anything current to do this, or would I
be best placed to add a new one?

I expect initially at least it would need a big long list of exceptions
- problems in existing docs, that we'd gradually tidy up as we go.
