Improve --resync warning prompt for clarity and safer operation (#3562)
This update refines the --resync user warning prompt to provide clearer,
more accurate guidance on the behaviour and risks associated with performing a
resynchronisation operation.

Key improvements include:

Explicitly explaining that --resync deletes the client’s local state
database and rebuilds it entirely from the current OneDrive contents.

Accurately describing possible outcomes, including overwrite scenarios,
conflict-driven renames or duplications, increased upload/download activity,
and potential Microsoft Graph API throttling (HTTP 429).

Removing incorrect implications that local-only files may be deleted during
--resync (they will instead be uploaded, unless destructive cleanup modes
are explicitly used).

Strengthening safety guidance by recommending:

Maintaining a current backup of the sync_dir

Running the same command with --dry-run before executing a real --resync

Enabling use_recycle_bin so locally triggered online deletions are preserved

Improved formatting and readability for terminal output.

This change enhances user understanding, reduces the likelihood of accidental
data loss, and aligns runtime messaging with the client’s actual synchronisation
logic and documented behaviour.
