Remove 'versus' from the list of error terms #951

Description

Describe the bug
Vale currently contains the word versus in its TermsErrors.yml

However, I could not find any information in the RH style guide about it being forbidden. On the contrary, IBM style guide confirms it is correct to use it in its spelled out form:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-style?topic=word-usage#versus

versus conjunction
Write as shown (spelled out) or rewrite with equivalent wording such as compare to. Do not abbreviate as vs., vs, or v.

Examples:

  • This word or expression triggers an illegitimate vale alert.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create docs with the word versus in it.
  2. Vale reports an illegitimate alert: error

Expected behavior
Vale does not report versus as incorrect.

Suggestion
Add vs., vs, or v. to the TermsErrors.yml instead
