fts(3): Mention that FTS_NOCHDIR imposes {PATH_MAX} limits on the returned
pathnames. With the current API (no *at functions), FTS_NOCHDIR requires that the fts_accpath start with the original path passed to fts_open(); therefore, the depth that can be reached is limited by the {PATH_MAX} constraint on this pathname. MFC after: 1 week
