I realised that the terminal documentation which covers detached
terminals fails to mention that callers need to make themselves a
subreaper. Probably a good idea to mention this. I've also included a
minor comparison to LXC.

Some systemd properties are documented as having "Sec" suffix
(e.g. "TimeoutStopSec") but are expected to have "USec" suffix
when passed over dbus, so let's provide appropriate conversion
to improve compatibility.
This means, one can specify TimeoutStopSec with a numeric argument,
in seconds, and it will be properly converted to TimeoutStopUsec
with the argument in microseconds. As a side bonus, even float
values are converted, so e.g. TimeoutStopSec=1.5 is possible.
This turned out a bit more tricky to implement when I was
originally expected, since there are a handful of numeric
types in dbus and each one requires explicit conversion.

Users can get very confused by how terminals work with runc, and the
quite confusing "terminal: ..." option. Add a document which goes
through all of the important parts of terminal handling in runc, in the
hopes that we can just point people to this as an explanation.
