doc/fsck: clarify --connectivity-only behavior

Browse source 
On reading this again, there are two things that were not immediately
clear to me:

  - we do still check links to blobs, even though we don't open the
    blobs themselves

  - we do not do the normal fsck checks, even for non-blob objects we do
    open

Let's reword it to make these points a little more clear.

--connectivity-only::
Check only the connectivity of tags, commits and tree objects. By
avoiding to unpack blobs, this speeds up the operation, at the
expense of missing corrupt objects or other problematic issues.
Check only the connectivity of reachable objects, making sure
that any objects referenced by a reachable tag, commit, or tree
is present. This speeds up the operation by avoiding reading
blobs entirely (though it does still check that referenced blobs
exist). This will detect corruption in commits and trees, but
not do any semantic checks (e.g., for format errors). Corruption
in blob objects will not be detected at all.
--strict::
Enable more strict checking, namely to catch a file mode
