man: make it clear how systemd calculate the DefaultTasksMax.

Actually, systemd takes the minimum of 
* a) the maximum tasks value the kernel allows on this architecture
* b) the cgroups pids_max attribute for the system
* c) the kernel's configured maximum PID value
to calculate the DefaultTasksMax. Here, kernel.thread-max should also be methioned.
