man/man3/wc{,r}tomb.3: wfix regarding MB_CUR_MAX
Add the missing length requirement about MB_CUR_MAX to wcrtomb(3).
Change the wording on the MB_CUR_MAX requirement in wctomb(3). If
programmers know the wide character to convert beforehand, they are
allowed to use a buffer smaller than MB_CUR_MAX bytes, as long as it
"fits" the sequence.
