[erlang-bugs] error in documentation of erl +swct flag

The erl documentation (http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erl.html) currently
says:
*+sws very_eager|eager|medium|lazy|very_lazy*

Set scheduler wake cleanup threshold. Default is medium. This flag controls
how eager schedulers should be requesting wake up due to certain cleanup
operations. When a lazy setting is used, more outstanding cleanup
operations can be left undone while a scheduler is idling. When an eager
setting is used, schedulers will more frequently be woken, potentially
increasing CPU-utilization.

*NOTE:* This flag may be removed or changed at any time without prior
notice.
*+sws default|legacy*

Set scheduler wakeup strategy. Default strategy changed in
erts-5.10/OTP-R16A. This strategy was previously known as proposal in
OTP-R15. The legacy strategy was used as default from R13 up to and
including R15.

*NOTE:* This flag may be removed or changed at any time without prior
notice.

I think that the first of these should be +swct (which was first mentioned
in the R16B01 release notes).
