Log:
  MFC r348127: bectl(8): add description for create subcommand
  
  In commit r345845, a portion of documentation for the create subcommand was
  removed. Specifically, for creating a snapshot of an existing boot
  environment. bectl even has a test-case for this functionality.
  
  Removing the sub-command description was discussed in PR 235850.
  
  This patch brings back the second "create" description that was originally
  in place. Albeit, with a few wording/clarifying changes.
