man: do not say that tasks are threads and processes 

This is confusing because the reader might think that processes and threads are
counted separately. Another issue pointed out in #16363.

`tasksMax` → Takes an unsigned 64bit integer indicating the maximum number of

by setuid binaries/`su`/`sudo` and

all tasks (i.e. threads, where each process is at least one thread) the user starts or that are
forked from these processes even if the user identity is changed (for example
by setuid binaries/`su`/`sudo` and similar).
[`systemd-logind.service`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-logind.service.html)
enforces this by setting the `TasksMax` slice property for the user's slice
`user-$UID.slice`.
