Document -n/--max-iterations in the man page

[rawsun007]

-n, --max-iterations=NUMBER is in the getopt table (CommandLine.c:163, short option n:) and in --help, but the man page never listed it. Every other option the parser accepts is documented there, so this is the one gap:

$ mandoc -T ascii htop.1 | grep -c max-iterations
0

Placed next to -d --delay, since both bound how long a run lasts rather than what it shows.

Verified by rendering the page with @sysconfdir@ substituted: mandoc -T ascii shows the new entry in COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS, and mandoc -T lint reports the same five pre-existing long-line style notes as before the change, none of them on the added lines. ./htop -n 1 exits 0.
