fix: doc: Clarify dnssec-signzone interval option

There was confusion about whether the interval was calculated from
the validity period provided on the command line (with -s and -e),
or from the signature being replaced.

Add text to clarify that the interval is calculated from the new
validity period.

Closes #5128

Merge branch '5128-clarify-dnssec-signzone-interval' into 'main'

Note that the calculation of cycle interval is based upon the validity
period of the replacement signatures that would be generated by
``dnssec-signzone``, not on the valid lifetimes of the input RRSIGs being
considered for pre-expiry replacement.
