doc: seq_file: clarify role of *pos in ->next()
There are behavioural requirements on the seq_file next() function in terms of how it updates *pos at end-of-file, and these are now enforced by a warning. I was recently attempting to justify the reason this was needed, and couldn't remember the details, and didn't find them in the documentation. So I re-read the code until I understood it again, and updated the documentation to match. I also enhanced the text about SEQ_START_TOKEN as it seemed potentially misleading.
