Describe the bug

Hello,

I noticed a small typo in the man page regarding the -date-host-forced option. It is currently documented as -data-host-forced:
-data-host-forced
Force synchronization of date and time with the host.

This caused some confusion, as I initially tried to use the option as written in the man page. However, when launching DOSBox-X with -data-host-forced, I received the following warning:
WARNING: Unknown option data-host-forced (first parsing stage)

The option appears to be correctly implemented in the program as -date-host-forced, so it seems to be just a documentation error.

I'm unable to submit a fix myself, but would appreciate it if the man page could be updated when convenient.

Thanks!
