docs: fix typos
After Gmail called out the typo I fixed on
532d89a866, I've decided to paste the
whole man page into Google docs and check what other issues it would
spot.

I know, it sounds silly, but I've just spent the last hour and a half
going over each one of them and fixing everything which was a true
finding and non-controversial.

Closes #17480

# `--capath`
Use the specified certificate directory to verify the peer. Multiple paths can
be provided by separating them with colon (`:`) (e.g. `path1:path2:path3`). The
certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is built against OpenSSL, the
directory must have been processed using the c_rehash utility supplied with
OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections
much more efficiently than using --cacert if the --cacert file contains many
CA certificates.
If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored.
