[PATCH conntrack-tools] Typo in contrackd-conf manpage

[Xavier Claude]

Hello,

I've found a few typos in the conntrackd.conf.5 manpage.
I hope it's the right mailing list for this kind of  report.
-- >8 --

Fixes some small typos on the conf file manpage. Acknowledegement is not a typo
per se, but I've uniformized the spelling to use the same everywhere.

It is.  I've applied the patch manually, as it was corrupted somewhere
in the path.  Even patchwork only has a garbled copy, half of the patch
is taked as part of commit message and several long lines have been
broken:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netfilter-devel/patch/3365321.aeNJFYEL58@kashyyk/

Next time, please send the patch to yourself and make sure you can apply
it via 'git am' first.

Thanks.

Thank you for the manual import. Sorry for the garbage. I checked the file but 
I must have made a mistake when importing in kmail. Next time I'll use git 
send-email.
