(Vline_number_display_limit): Renamed from
line_number_display_limit.
(syms_of_xdisp): Use DEFVAR_LISP for line-number-display-limit.
Extend documentation string.  Initialize
Vline_number_display_limit to nil meaning no limit.
(decode_mode_spec): Use Vline_number_display_limit with its new
meaning.
