Title:
  typo in output of 'sudo mdadm --manage --help'

Status in mdadm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  <nit>
  There is a very small typo in the output of the following command;

  20230924T211320Z: crystamped at mab:~$ sudo mdadm --manage --help
  Usage: mdadm arraydevice options component devices...

  This usage is for managing the component devices within an array.
  The --manage option is not needed and is assumed if the first argument
  is a device name or a management option.
  The first device listed will be taken to be an md array device, any
  subsequent devices are (potential) components of that array.

  Options that are valid with management mode are:
    --add         -a   : hotadd subsequent devices to the array
    --re-add           : subsequent devices are re-added if there were
                       : recent members of the array
    --remove      -r   : remove subsequent devices, which must not be active
    --fail        -f   : mark subsequent devices a faulty
    --set-faulty       : same as --fail
    --replace          : mark device(s) to be replaced by spares.  Once
                       : replacement completes, device will be marked faulty
    --with             : Indicate which spare a previous '--replace' should
                       : prefer to use
    --run         -R   : start a partially built array
    --stop        -S   : deactivate array, releasing all resources
    --readonly    -o   : mark array as readonly
    --readwrite   -w   : mark array as readwrite

  "mark subsequent devices a faulty" should probably read, "mark
  subsequent devices as faulty".
