docs(options): the EDIT limits truncate the grid and warn

getdata no longer refuses a selection over DC_MAXOBS_WEBEDIT or
DC_MAXCELLS_WEBEDIT - it serves the rows within the limit and flags the
truncation against the table name.  Update the option reference and the two
developer-guide pages that claimed the edit screen stops with "Table is too
big".  The hook page also carried the old 500 row default.

### DC_MAXCELLS_WEBEDIT
By default, a maximum of 200,000 cells (observations multiplied by variables) can be edited in the browser at one time. This limit is applied together with [DC_MAXOBS_WEBEDIT](#dc_maxobs_webedit) - whichever is reached first.
A selection over either limit is served truncated: the grid carries the rows that fit, and a warning triangle next to the table name names the limit that was reached. Filter the table to see the rest.
The cell count matters because the cost of an EDIT screen load tracks the number of cells, not the number of rows. A 10 column table is comfortable at 250 rows, but 250 rows of a 1000 column table is 250,000 cells.
