s3:utils: Fix misleading recursive flag in smbget error message

The error message in smbget incorrectly instructs users to use "-R" for
recursive downloads.

In recent Samba versions, the "-R" flag was repurposed for
"--name-resolve" to align with other tools. The correct flag for
recursion is now "--recursive". This mismatch causes confusion as using
"-R" triggers a parameter parsing error rather than enabling recursion.

This patch updates the error string to correctly suggest "--recursive"
instead of "-R".
