doc/recover.6: Revise synopsis

Browse Source 
Tighten formatting: set synopsis syntax characters adjacently to
operands.  Rename `-d` option argument from "directory" to
"playground-directory" for clarity.

Set operands more idiomatically.  They are not given in pairs; instead
"base" can be repeated arbitrarily.  See, for example, the POSIX
reference page for ls(1).

Format ellipsis idiomatically.

groff_man_style(7):

Notes
       ... The idiomatic roff ellipsis is three dots (periods) with thin
       space escape sequences \| internally separating them.  Since dots
       both begin control lines and are candidate end‐of‐sentence
       characters, however, it is sometimes necessary to prefix and/or
       suffix an ellipsis with the dummy character escape sequence \&.
