typo

Hello Jim, all,

found a single typo in the coreutils manual.  Also, I suggest to change
`relationals' as it seemed a bit odd -- is that a proper word?  Even if
it is, I think `relational operators' is clearer, at least to a
non-native like me.

Cheers,
Ralf

        * doc/coreutils.texi: Fix a typo.  Avoid the term `relationals'.
