    sysconf.3: Remove wrong info about "minimum maximum" values.
    
    _SC_STREAM_MAX and _SC_TZNAME_MAX do not return the lower bounds of
    the respective maximum limits as the manual page claims, but instead
    the actual maximum values.
    
    See the table here:
    https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/sysconf.html
    
    What the manual page is really thinking of are _POSIX_STREAM_MAX and
    _POSIX_TZNAME_MAX. But those are not retrievable with sysconf(), as
    there are no corresponding _SC_* constants for them.
    
    While here, fix a typo (types -> bytes).
