Prevent hanging in next-single-char-property-change

* src/textprop.c (Fnext_single_char_property_change): Clarify in
the doc string the behavior when LIMIT is past the end of OBJECT.
Stop the search when position gets to end of buffer, for when LIMIT
is beyond that.  (Bug#40000)

If OBJECT is a string, POSITION is a 0-based index into it.
In a string, scan runs to the end of the string, unless LIMIT is non-nil.
In a buffer, if LIMIT is nil or omitted, it runs to (point-max), and the
value cannot exceed that.
In a buffer, scan runs to end of buffer, unless LIMIT is non-nil.
If the optional fourth argument LIMIT is non-nil, don't search
past position LIMIT; return LIMIT if nothing is found before LIMIT.
However, if OBJECT is a buffer and LIMIT is beyond the end of the
buffer, this function returns `point-max', not LIMIT.
