[Bug-ddrescue] Maybe a typo in the ddrescue online manual

Hello!

Following I found in the ddrescue Manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html#Invoking-Ddrescue):

` -R '
` --reverse '
Reverse direction of all copy operations. This means the copy of the non-tried blocks, splitting and retrying are run backwards, while trimming is run forwards.

This looks like a leftover from a dd_rescue manual, maybe.

My ddrescue tells me:

`--retrim'
`-R'
     Mark all failed blocks inside the rescue domain as non-trimmed
     before beginning the rescue. The effect is similar to
     `--max-retries=1', but the bad sectors are tried in a different
     order, making perhaps possible to rescue some of them.

I just got a little confused with this difference.

Anyway, thanks a lot for this great tool.

Greetings
