losetup.8: Clarify --direct-io

See e.g. https://github.com/containers/bootc/pull/375#issuecomment-1981109022

The phrasing here was in my opinion technically correct but quite confusing and easy to misunderstand.

Let's be very clear:

- The default is *off*
- You can turn it on in two ways
- You can also explicitly turn it off
