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 b5c8cc0a3b8e4e2fea0539d6420a76b524ea5735) (cherry picked from commit 1a0e6961cfaed42bda542e111738c136f7b4d73f) (cherry picked from commit c752efdfbac84cd62ddc54fc6ff7c58361f7f998)
