GNU Parallel Bug Reports parallel-20171222: minor typo in parallel.1 man

I spotted another minor buglet in the parallel.1 man page.

One of the examples

    seq 3 | parallel sem sed -i -e 'i{}' myfile

will insert a number between 1 and 3 before _every_ line of myfile,
instead of "prepending the file with lines with the numbers 1 to 3",
as clained. Use the following instead:

    seq 3 | parallel sem sed -i -e '1i{}' myfile


The appropriate diff patch follows:

--- parallel.1  2018-01-12 21:50:09 +0000
+++ parallel.1.dist     2018-01-12 19:12:50 +0000
