Fix typo and enable multipath between only one client and only one server IP address #264

Yes, it is true that multiple port number can be used and we should not that. However, the chance proposed some editorially not correct as the list is only focused on IP addresses.

My idea was that both the client and the server can only use one IP address but multiple ports. Then it's still multi-path. In what way do you mean my suggestion is not about IP addresses? I'm not sure I understood.

If you think it's in the wrong section, a section could be added which states that also multiple ports per IP address are allowed.

The text before the list says

Each endhost may use several IP addresses to serve the connection. In
particular, the multipath extension supports the following scenarios.

So I think the point that you added (is correct) but doesn't find editorially in that list. We could simply add this as sentence after the list or make a slightly larger editorial change (to this sentence above) to make sure that is clear.

@mirjak Tried to rephrase it according to your suggestion.
