doc: ls: clarify description of timestamps

Browse Source 
* src/ls.c (usage): Don't mention "modification" in the
description of ctime (-c), as it's confusing with mtime.
Mention "metadata" when discussing "change" time to
disambiguate from data change time.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): State that --time=creation
falls back to using mtime where not available.
