some clean-up

[Sebastian_Karcher]

Hi everyone,
just wanted to give you a quick heads-up that I did some clean-up of styles
tonight, removing clutter in the code in case you’re wondering about the
many updates.
None of the changes should have any effect on citations produced, but they
make the styles cleaner and future edits easier (plus, removing unnecessary
and/or redundant code is a good by itself.)

Speficifically I

• removed strip-periods=“true” suffix="." which first removes periods,
  then adds them.
  https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commit/6ab4f44876480e98a1d8ce61eaa42465942527b1

• changed suffix=". " strip-periods=“true” to suffix=" "
  https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commit/6f8c12b4993ac34e825db6dc8bb66ff5d115e158

• removed text-case=“lowercase” from all labels in English styles, where
  all labels are already lowercase
  https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commit/60e3f7d8c53d0df3755bc56c8d9ebdc2a0a95739

• ditto for terms in English
  https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commit/af2adb5646724c3b6b6c77ba22d7d5ad95358aaa

• removed empty affixes and group delimiters

Thanks! Some of these changes were long overdue.

(and I don’t mean to be too critical, but a pull request is always a
good idea when using regex on a large number of styles, instead of
directly committing to master)
