[Bug][Deeds & UX] Use en dashes (instead of hypens), where appropriate, in Deeds & UX

[gabldotink]

Description

Update the Deeds & UX portion of the CC Legal Tools to use an en dash (–) instead of a hyphen (-), where appropriate, according to the American Psychological Association (APA) style.

Original issue description

All CC licenses and CC0 1.0 (not CC-PDDL or PDM 1.0) use a hyphen (-) in some places where an en dash (–) might/should be used instead.

The word “lawyer-client” in the “not a law firm” disclaimer should use an en dash, since it mentions two different objects instead of being a single, compound word: “lawyer–client.” (This is not part of the legal code.)

In addition, an en dash is often used to denote a range, e.g. 1–3 or A–D. The legal texts use a hyphen for this instead, e.g. 1-3 or A-D. This one is subjective; the APA and MLA style guides, for example, use an en dash to show ranges, while AMA style uses hyphens. If en dashes were used instead, ranges like “Section 2(b)(1)-(2)” would become “Section 2(b)(1)–(2).” Hyphens might still be preferred in plaintext, in any case.

    For printed documents, CC follows the American Psychological Association (APA) style, and utilizes
    footnotes or endnotes instead of in-text citations. For more information on APA, please see this link
