Clarify tmbless.sh UI

Browse Source 
More clearly explain WHAT tmbless.sh accomplishes, and THEN
    explain exactly HOW it does it...

    Previously, we explained what we did mechanically, and THEN
    explained the result of doing that, which is useless to non-
    technical end-users.

DESCRIPTION
Time Machine Blessing modifies the metadata of a snapshot directory
(i.e., a datestamped directory inside a Backups.backupdb/machinename/
directory) so that the metadata reflects a backup completed on that date
and the metadata of the top-level drive matches that of the current drive.
Time Machine Bless marks a snapshot directory as valid and recognizable
by Time Machine.
It does this by modifying the metadata of the snapshot directory so that
the it accurately reflects the date the snapshot was created and the
metadata of the 'drive' subdirectory within that snapshot directory
matches the current drive.
These modifications should allow restoration of files within the Time
Machine restore UI.
