docs(options): update the EDIT and VIEW size limits

DC_MAXOBS_WEBEDIT 100 -> 250, DC_MAXOBS_WEBVIEW 500 -> 2000, and a new
DC_MAXCELLS_WEBEDIT (200000) which is applied together with the EDIT
observation limit - whichever is reached first.

### 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.
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.

A wide table can reach the [DC_MAXCELLS_WEBEDIT](#dc_maxcells_webedit) limit well before this one, so increase both together.

### DC_REQUEST_LOGS ### DC_REQUEST_LOGS
On SASjs Server and SAS9 Server types, at the end of each DC SAS request, a record is added to the [MPE_REQUESTS](/tables/mpe_requests) table. In some situations this can cause table locks. To prevent this issue from occuring, the `DC_REQUEST_LOGS` option can be set to `NO` (Default is `YES`).
