[PATCH nft,v2] doc: remove references to timeout in reset command

[PATCH nft,v2] doc: remove references to timeout in reset command

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

After Linux kernel's patch ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not refresh
timeout when resetting element") timers are not reset anymore, update
documentation to keep this in sync.

Fixes: 83e0f4402fb7 ("Implement 'reset {set,map,element}' commands")

v2: remove limit by now since kernel does not support it.
