docs: clarify that --ulimit size limits are in bytes
The value given to --ulimit is passed to the container unchanged and is
interpreted by setrlimit(2), so size limits such as memlock are in bytes.
The ulimit shell builtin scales most of those values when printing them
(kbytes for -d, -l, -m, -s, 512-byte blocks for -c, -f), which makes the
value reported inside the container look wrong.

Document the unit used by each limit type, add an example, and note that
unit suffixes are not accepted. No behavior change.

Fixes: #25236
