Description

Don't know if this is a documentation bug or a code bug.

https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/admin-guide/files/parent.config.en.html says,
"By default the value for max_unavailable_server_retries is 1. It may be set to any value in the range 1 to 5"

Testing with 6.2, when we set max_unavailable_server_retries=5, the setting is ignored (used parent debug tag to see this). When set to <=4, the max_unavailable_server_retries is set.
