Removed forms-MAX_NUM_FORMS POST data in docs

Browse Source 
The field is ignored server-side and only exists as a client-side
convenience. Removing it slightly simplifies the documentation and
avoids some distractions.

Added note:: for MIN_NUM_FORMS/MAX_NUM_FORMS in
Understanding the management form section.
