man: Spell TCP header flags names. [skip ci]
In the prose use the names from respective registry [1], which says: * "PSH", not "PUSH", * "CWR", not "ECN CWR", and * "ECE", not "ECN-Echo". This does not resolve all known inconsistencies related to TCP flags, but at least makes the problem smaller. 1: https://www.iana.org/assignments/tcp-parameters/tcp-parameters.xhtml
