    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.
