Fix broken link to accessing-data-files

[philderbeast]

Follow on from #7469. The nitpick -n option did not catch the bad link. The accessing-data-files section label was added in #6971.

When using the :ref:label syntax nitpicking finds a bad link:

$ git diff
...
-Unlike :file:`Paths_{pkgname}` (see :ref:`accessing-data-files`),+Unlike :file:`Paths_{pkgname}` (see :ref:`accessing-data-folies`),

$ make users-guide
...
/.../cabal/doc/cabal-package-description-file.rst:3159:
WARNING: undefined label: 'accessing-data-folies' [ref.ref]
...
make: *** [Makefile:287: users-guide] Error 2

When using the `description <#anchor>`_ syntax nitpicking fails to report the bad link:

...
-Unlike :file:`Paths_{pkgname}` (see `accessing data files <#accessing-data-files-from-package-code>`_),+Unlike :file:`Paths_{pkgname}` (see `accessing data files <#accessing-data-folies-from-package-code>`_),

• Patches conform to the coding conventions.
• Is this a PR that fixes CI? If so, it will need to be backported to older cabal release branches (ask maintainers for directions).
