[Outreachy PATCH] api-parse-options.adoc: restore a dropped word

The description of PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT ends with "..., the
parser early.", which is not a sentence. The word "stopping" was lost
in 0d260f9a09 (parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION
from being used together, 2009-03-09), which rewrote the end of that
sentence.

Restore it, and rewrap the following line.
