docs: Removed ambiguity from copy command docs
Switched from talking about "unchanged" files to "identical" files. I found out the hard way that the rclone copy will overwrite newer files. Looking at posts in the rclone forum, this is a common experience. The docs for copy have referred to "unchanged" files. This is ambiguous because it intuitively introduces a sense of chronology, but chronology is irrelevant. Rclone only "cares" about difference, not change.
