Doc: clarify behavior of row-limit arguments in the PLs' SPI wrappers.

plperl, plpython, and pltcl all provide query-execution functions
that are thin wrappers around SPI_execute() or its variants.
The SPI functions document their row-count limit arguments clearly,
as "maximum number of rows to return, or 0 for no limit".  However
the PLs' documentation failed to explain this special behavior of
zero, so that a reader might well assume it means "fetch zero
rows".  Improve that.

Daniel Gustafsson and Tom Lane, per report from Kieran McCusker
