[PATCH] doc: update seq description

[Jim Meyering]

I suppose this is only temporary, while we wait for support for
arbitrary precision negative numbers and non-trivial integer increments,
but yesterday's change invalidated an incr==1-using example in the
documentation, so I've fixed that and mentioned the new feature.

that with the new constraints, seq can print arbitrarily large numbers.

 Be careful when using @command{seq} with outlandish values: otherwise
 you may see surprising results, as @command{seq} uses floating point
 internally.  For example, on the x86 platform, where the internal
