docs: mention that a negative number after "+" counts from the end 

A negative line number given on the command line counts from the end
of the relevant file (-1 meaning the first line from the bottom),
and a negative column number from the end of the relevant line.

The feature was added in version 2.8.5 but not mentioned in the manual.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57342.
