seriesCountLimit is not explained

[olitomlinson]

The below statement does not make sense and fails to convey what the seriesCountLimit configuration option represents.

• seriesCountLimit is the max number of data time series a metric can contain. Once this limit is reached, calls to TrackValue().

Please provide an explicit example on how seriesCountLimit can be exceeded. In a similar manner to the example of how valuesPerDimensionLimit is exceeded.

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the feedback. I made a PR and added on to the statement you mentioned to make it more clear "seriesCountLimit is the max number of data time series a metric can contain. Once this limit is reached, calls to TrackValue() that would normally result in a new series will return false."

The change should go live tomorrow.
