docs: smbget: Fix typos and misleading options in manpage
This patch corrects several issues in the smbget documentation:
- Removed duplicate '-O' from the synopsis (it conflicted with socket
options).
- Clarified that '-o' conflicts with '--recursive', not '-R' (which is
name resolve order).
- Fixed malformed example syntax (changed '-resume' to '--resume').
- Fixed spelling typo of 'recursive' in the BUGS section.
RN: Fixed misleading documentation for smbget options (-O vs --stdout)
and corrected typos.
