Be more explicit on what the "nice range" is.

The description still isn't completely clear to me. IIUC the values are:

-52 through -21 rtprio
-20 through 20 nice
21 through 52 idle

I'm not sure how much we want to say about this / how best to express this in login.conf(5) though.

Be even more explicit about the possible values for the property capability that map to the real-time or idle classes.
