Inappropriate typo suggestion for argument of option

Description
In --option=argument syntax, if the argument is not accepted by the option, then typo correction can suggest replacing the argument with a different option. That should not happen when they are connected by an equals sign.
## Demo
```XML
Exe
net6.0
enable
enable
```
```C#
using System.CommandLine;
return new RootCommand().Invoke(args);
```
```
$ dotnet run -- --version=h-
'h-' was not matched. Did you mean one of the following?
-h
1.0.0
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the System.CommandLine sample using RootCommand and `dotnet run -- --version=h-`. Trace how the `--option=argument` form is parsed and how typo suggestions are generated; done means an invalid argument after `=` no longer suggests a different option while normal option suggestions still work.
