but without a whitespace

OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug

Fix doc for $run preexpand option and add examples.

I took some time for us to realise that the new *preexpand* option must be
appended to **run** without whitespace.

With an additional whitespace you'll instead receive the following error
message:

```
2022-11-09 17:16:39 H=(exim4) [127.0.0.1] temporarily rejected DATA: failed to
expand ACL string "${run ,preexpand{/usr/bin/printf "<%s> " $acl_m_arg1
$acl_m_arg2 $acl_m_arg3}}": missing '{' for command arg of run
```

```

expand ACL string "${run preexpand{/usr/bin/printf "<%s> " $acl_m_arg1
$acl_m_arg2 $acl_m_arg3}}": missing '{' for command arg of run
```

I've updated the docs and added examples that show the usage of the preexpand
option and point out the difference between run with and without the preexpand
option.
