Description
### Describe the bug
I believe there is a mistake in the explanation for `reserve_time` property in `parser` filter plugin.
It is saying that when `reserve_time: true`, the time of the event is parsed from the specified parsing field (in that case, it is `log`).
However, it is the other way around (i.e. time of the event is kept and parsed time is discarded).
### Link to the problematic documentation
https://docs.fluentd.org/filter/parser#reserve_time
### Expected explanation
When `reserve_time: true`, the output is:
```
time:
2021-06-24 14:33:35.475115751 +0900 (It vary on parsed timestamp)
record:
{
"user": 1
}
```
When `reserve_time: false` (default value), the output is:
```
time:
2021-06-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0900
record:
{
"user": 1
}
```
