man,units: drop "temporary" from description of systemd-tmpfiles
Historically, systemd-tmpfiles was designed to manager temporary files, but nowadays it has become a generic tool for managing all kinds of files. To avoid user confusion, let's remove "temporary" from the tool's description. As discussed in #33349 (cherry picked from commit b5c8cc0) (cherry picked from commit 1a0e696)
