(#4411) Explain that runinterval = 0 does not mean "never run"
Unlike several other tools that accept a number of seconds between runs,
puppet agent doesn't use 0 as a special value representing "never;" instead,
it takes this as an instruction to run continuously. As this has caused some
user confusion, this commit updates runinterval's description to explain this,
and points to the correct method to make puppet agent do nothing.
