manual: make setrlimit() description less ambiguous
The existing description for setrlimit() has some ambiguity. It could be understood to have the semantics of getrlimit(), i.e., the limits from the process are stored in the provided rlp pointer. Make the description more explicit that rlp are the input values, and that the limits of the process is changed with this function. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit aedbf08891069fc029ed021e4dba933eb877b394)
