Fix the -parallel example in the main description text: "5all" should be
"all5".  Reword the description a bit to hopefully make it clearer that
there are two separate values set here.  Note under the option description
of -parallel that multiple partitions on the same device are normally
processed serially.

constantly moving the disk head from one partition to another. However,
this strategy is often not ideal if the partitions are configured as

To set both parameters at the same time, append the number of Salvager

each partition as a separate disk and runs five Salvager processes, thus
salvaging five partitions at a time.
