Val Markovic 4724cf5526 man: improve documentation for RestartSteps (#40879)
I found the existing explanation of RestartSteps to be simply
impenetrable. Even providing the full docs context to several of our new
AI overlords resulted in wildly different (and completely incorrect)
explanations of the final restart intervals.

Digging through the code, I found the restart delay computation in
`service_restart_usec_next` in `src/core/service.c`.

I've updated the documentation for RestartSteps with an example,
suggested value range and a detailed enough explanation that accurately
describes the current behavior.
