Improve explanations of event control flags #6954

Users trying to simply turn on evented tables on Windows are often confused that --disable_events=false is not enough. Afterwards, they are confused when they query an evented table twice and some or all of the data from the first query is still there. They are confused again when they get warnings about evented tables' events overfilling and losing events. So the docs could be better. This is my attempt.

Addresses @muffins comment on recent changes to the flags that control evented tables.

Closes #6763
