copy_file_range.2: Clarify that only regular files work
PR#273962 reported that copy_file_range(2) did not work on shared memory objects and returned EINVAL. Although the reporter felt this was incorrect, it is what the Linux copy_file_range(2) syscall does. Since there was no collective agreement that the FreeBSD semantics should be changed to no longer be Linux compatible, copy_file_range(2) still works on regular files only. This man page update clarifies that. If, someday, copy_file_range(2) is changed to support non-regular files, then the man page will need to be updated to reflect that.
