Docs: clarify description of LIMIT/OFFSET behavior.

Section 7.6 was a tad confusing because it specified what LIMIT NULL
does, but neglected to do the same for OFFSET NULL, making this look
like perhaps a special case or a wrong restatement of the bit about
LIMIT ALL.  Wordsmith a bit while at it.  Per bug #14084.
