      Description of problem:
      The list of possible option for printf format of File access time isn't complete regarding strftime options.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      findutils-4.6.0-20.el8.x86_64

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. `man find`
      2. search for %AF in printf section
      3.

      Actual results:
      The option is not listed

      737 -printf format

      776 %Ak File's last access time in the format specified by k, which is
      777 either `@' or a directive for the C `strftime' function. The possi‐
      778 ble values for k are listed below; some of them might not be avail‐
      779 able on all systems, due to differences in `strftime' between sys‐
      780 tems.
      ...
      815 Date fields:
      816
      817 a locale's abbreviated weekday name (Sun..Sat)
      818
      819 A locale's full weekday name, variable length (Sunday..Satur‐
      820 day)
      821
      822 b locale's abbreviated month name (Jan..Dec)
      823
      824 B locale's full month name, variable length (January..December)
      825
      826 c locale's date and time (Sat Nov 04 12:02:33 EST 1989). The
      827 format is the same as for ctime(3) and so to preserve compat‐
      828 ibility with that format, there is no fractional part in the
      829 seconds field.
      830
      831 d day of month (01..31)
      832
      833 D date (mm/dd/yy)
      834
      ====> HERE "F" is missing
      835 h same as b
      836

      Expected results:
      Either the complete list of strftime options or limited list with redirect to strftime.
