manuals: Update warning on max entries in file browser / playlist

Browse source 
These settings have a warning that increasing them will shorten the
audio buffer. This is not very useful, because users might not know
what "shortening the music buffer" implies.

Since the size of the audio buffer is probably irrelevant for flash
based storage, display the warning only for HDD-based targets, and
explain what the drawbacks may be if the settings are set too high.

the music buffer, so you should increase this setting \emph{only} if you have
directories with a large number of files.
