b93ce255b5 Document the detrimental effect of kern.cam.XX.retry_count for recoverdisk(1)
recoverdisk(1) wants to know about read errors when doing the 1MB/64k
reads as fast as possible so it can continue and retry them later with
smaller reads (down to sector size). Any retries by lower layers will
only slow it down.

5df69e92de recoverdisk(8): treat output file consistently and abort on EINVAL
This improves usability a little as we no longer require using touch.
Also reword the manpage wrt. parameters and fix usage() [1]

With no media in a cd(4) drive, the reads will loop producing EINVAL,
abort in that case [2].

Document the shortcoming of sectorsize and MAXPHYS (a quick solution
to this might be having MAXPHYS as the "bigsize", in short testing it
didn't make a difference on throughput).
