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
