sleep: improve doc
Problem reported by Robert Elz.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sleep invocation):
Say that arguments must be non-negative, which means they cannot
be arbitrary floating-point numbers. Mention POSIX, not
“historical implementations” that are no longer of practical
interest. List the extensions to POSIX.
* src/sleep.c (usage): Omit needless words, removing dubious
commentary about “most implementations” and incorrect commentary
about “arbitrary”. Details about exactly which numbers are
allowed can be found in the documentation.
