`git am` passes the value given to its `--whitespace` option through to the underlying `git apply`, and the value is called <action> over there. Fix the documentation for the command that calls the value <option> to say <action> instead. Note that the option help given by `git am -h` already calls the value <action>, so there is no need to make a matching change there.
