Document the gc-atime-check flag and describe the behavior it
controls, by adding it as additional bullet point to the documented
datastore tuning options.

This also fixes the intendation for the cli example how to set the
sync level, to make it clear that still belongs to the previous
bullet point.

 If you want to set multiple tuning options simultaneously, you can separate them
 with a comma, like this:
