fix #40171 - tribute typo for The Colour of Magic

Browse Source 
Passage 1 of the Colour of Magic:  'bazaars' was misspelled 'bazarrs'.
There were a couple of other things that didn't match the paperback copy
I recently recovered from loan:  'radiation' should be 'radiations', and
'dark' was omitted from 'a tall dark figure'.

Unlike the later Harper editions, the early Signet ones retain British
spelling (at least for 'colour').  I failed to find the second passsage
via flipping through the pages, so wasn't able to proof-check that one.

It has been remarked before that those who are sensitive to radiations in
the far octarine--the eighth colour, the pigment of the Imagination--can
see things that others cannot.
Thus it was that Rincewind, hurrying through the crowded, flare-lit,
evening bazarrs of Morpork with the Luggage trundling behind him, jostled a
tall figure, turned to deliver a few suitable curses, and beheld Death.

It had to be Death. No-one else went around with empty eye sockets and, of
course, the scythe over one shoulder was another clue.
