max-time.d: clarify max-time sets max transfer time
Prior to this change the doc said --max-time set the maximum time of the
'whole operation' which is not accurate. The option maps to
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS which sets maximum transfer time.

For example, the maximum time on a transfer is reset if the transfer is
retried (--retry).
