Update max_document_size description with correct semantics
`max_document_size` is a misnomer and is actually implemented as the
equivalent of `max_http_recv_body_size`. That is, it checks the total
HTTP request body size. In case of multiple documents (_bulk_docs)
or attachments, there could be a large discrepancy between the two which can
and that can be surprising for the users.
In the future we could deprecate this setting, rename it, or have an actual
check for individual document sizes, however for now it is better to inform
users of current behavior.
