rec: better docs for runtime changable settings #14870

Some Recursor settings can be changed at runtime via a specific rec_control command or rec_control reload-lua-config, or API call. We need to systematically document those in the generated documentation. This is important now that some of the YAML settings (that correspond to the old Lua config) and a few new settings are runtime changeable. These can be changed at runtime by rec_control reload-lua-config, but that's not documented well.

A better man page entry and an alias for rec_control reload-yaml is needed. The name reload-lua-config suggests that it only works for Lua config, while it does work for the YAML settings that correspond to Lua settings.
