fix: stabilize par help text in manpages

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Regenerating manpages currently records the local machine's CPU count in the
-par and -parbls help text. That makes otherwise unrelated release
manpage regeneration change those entries depending on which machine generated
the pages.

What was done?

Updated the -par and -parbls help text to avoid printing the dynamic lower
bound derived from GetNumCores().

Runtime behavior is unchanged: negative values still mean "leave that many
cores free", 0 still auto-detects, and the existing max/default values remain
documented. The checked-in dashd and dash-qt manpages were updated to match
the new stable generated text.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested on macOS arm64:

git diff --check
python3 -m py_compile contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.py
rg -n -e '\\fB\\-[0-9]+\\fR to' doc/man/dashd.1 doc/man/dash-qt.1

The grep command returned no matches, confirming the affected generated
manpages no longer contain a CPU-count-specific lower bound.

Also ran a pre-PR code review gate against the exact worktree diff:

Recommendation: ship

Note: this worktree did not have configured Dash Core build artifacts and
help2man is not installed locally, so I did not rerun full manpage generation
from rebuilt binaries here. The manpage edits mirror the changed src/init.cpp
help text.

Breaking Changes

None.

Walkthrough

The help text for -par and -parbls options is updated in src/init.cpp and both man pages (dash-qt.1, dashd.1). The prior wording described a numeric range (e.g., -12 to 15); the new wording uses a standardized format: 0 = auto, negative values reserve that many cores, with explicit maximum caps (15 for -par, 33 for -parbls) and default of 0.

Code Review

Verified PR #7394 at exact head SHA 4e5cc4b. The diff is limited to stabilizing the -par and -parbls help/manpage text, the generated manpage entries match src/init.cpp, and the runtime parsing still supports auto, negative values, and max clamping as documented.

Note: posted as a COMMENT review because GitHub does not allow approving my own PR.
