Insert underscore correctly in CLTV opcode

Browse Source 
As CLTV opcode would not be recognized if some letter is wrong, the
underscore should be correctly placed inside the opcode.

## Summary: Using CLTV in Scripts
`OP-CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY` is a simple opcode that looks at a single argument, interprets it as a blockheight or UNIX timestamp, and only allows its UTXO to be unlocked if that blockheight or UNIX timestamp is in the past. Setting `nLockTime` on the spending transaction is what allows Bitcoin to make this calculation.

> :fire: ***What is the Power of CLTV?*** You've already seem that simple locktimes were one of the bases of Smart Contracts. CLTV takes the next step. Now you can both guarantee that a UTXO can't be spent before a certain time _and_ guarantee that it won't be spent either. In its simplest form, this could be used to create a trust that someone could only access when they reached 18 or a retirement fund that they could only access when they turned 50. However its true power comes when combined with conditionals, where the CLTV only activates in certain situations.
