portage(5): fix description of volatile attribute
The description of the 'volatile' keyword in the 'repos.conf' section in the portage(5) man page seems to be inconsistent. I think the first two sentences correctly describe the behaviour of 'volatile' and agree with the comments in portage/repository/config.py: "Specifies whether a repository is volatile. Volatile repositories are assumed to contain changes made outside of Portage. This prohibits optimizations from occurring by assuming the integrity of the repository and its caches may be violated." The remainder of the paragraph inverts the meaning of 'volatile' and does not agree with the code in portage/repository/config.py: "Disabling this option allows local changes to be made to the repository for e.g. development safely. For git-synced repositories, Portage will not perform destructive operations. Per default, repositories are considered volatile if their directory is owned by either 'root' or 'portage' and if it is under /var/db/repos. Otherwise, the repository is considered non volatile."
