Subject: [PATCH] cmd/geth: correct misleading flag description in removedb
 command (#33984)

The `--remove.chain` flag incorrectly described itself as selecting
"state data" for removal, which could mislead operators into removing
the wrong data category. This corrects the description to accurately
reflect that the flag targets chain data (block bodies and receipts).
