@elarlang re-authentication vs reauthentication: Both are generally accepted. However, tech firms (US) typically use the latter, and so does the NIST standard as previously linked. If a maintainer feels otherwise, happy to close this PR. At this point, it's purely a preference/style guide IMO. Here's another example of "Resynchronization" on the RFC Standard |

Following the discussion in #3431, this changes "re-authentication" to "reauthentication" (and "re-authenticate" to "reauthenticate") in the V7 chapter and the glossary, which are the only places it appears in the source. That matches NIST SP 800-63B, which 7.1.1 points to, and the style guides @nnsee looked at. There are no other forms of the word in the source, so the spelling is now consistent.
Wording only, the requirements don't change. I left the generated 5.0.0 files in docs_en alone.
Closes #3431
