Make more explicit that {value:r} roundtrips only through similar locales

[pasisavolainen]

In section https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings#RFormatString

I know it's implied by describing effects of NumberFormatInfo, but perhaps it should be made very, very explicit that roundtripping is only possible through similar locales (decimal separator . vs. ,).
