replace "summarise" with "summarize" in episode 3; fix #826 #827

I opted to use summarize as that's what the majority of the lesson uses, and most learners will be more familiar with American English. It's worth noting however that the R output however will use summarise as that seems to be the "true" function internally.

I'm helping the current lesson Maintainers process outstanding pull requests on this repository, in preparation for transition to the new lesson infrastructure.

Thank you for this contribution @edbennett. I agree with your reasoning in https://github.com/datacarpentry/R-ecology-lesson/issues/826 about why this may be confusing to learners. I will go ahead and merge this improvement.
