linux: clarify pids cgroup settings
While the original wording did not provide any justification for this, some runtimes have incorrectly treated a pids.limit value of 0 as being equivalent to "max" or otherwise handle it suboptimally.
So, add some clarifying wording that the correct representation of max is -1 (like every other cgroup configuration) and that users should not treat 0 as a special value of any kind.
Note that a pids.limit value of 0 is actually different to 1 now that CLONE_INTO_CGROUP exists (at the time pids was added to the kernel and the spec, this feature didn't exist and so it may have seemed redundant to have two equivalent values).
