Guestcontrol --wait-exit is back in the manual

Description
Seems the "--wait-exit" argument is still shown in the manual as an example option for 'vboxmanage guestcontrol', even though it is not a valid command as shown in the syntax error message when trying the command:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Unknown option: --wait-exit
See https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.22/UserManual.pdf, page 191, also https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-guestcontrol
Searching the Bugtracker for "--wait-exit guestcontrol" shows this gets fixed, but it crops back in. Maybe someone has a branch with old data that gets re-implemented?

for help on using tickets.
Ticket #14860 talks about it being fixed, but that wasn't entirely true. The option was removed from the list of valid options (in mid 2016 actually, and never came back), but the examples were never adjusted.
Ticket #14890 and #16831 are practically duplicates, and at least the latter contains additional concerns so I won't close that one yet.
