thinkfan.conf.5: rename complex -> detailed syntax
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Hopefully, "detailed" is less off-putting to users than "complex", as
they should really be going for that instead of simple mode.

This mode is suitable for more complex systems, with devices that have
different temperature ratings.
For example, many modern CPUs and GPUs can deal with temperatures above
80\[char176]C on a daily basis, whereas a hard disk will die quickly if it
reaches such temperatures.

In detailed mode, upper and lower temperature limits are specified for each
