Mention portMAX_DELAY in xEventGroupWaitBits docs (#411)
The public function xEventGroupWaitBits passes xTicksToWait to the
function vTaskPlaceOnUnorderedEventList, which passes the number of
ticks to prvAddCurrentTaskToDelayedList and sets xCanBlockIndefinitely
to pdTRUE, causing the latter to block indefinitely if
xTicksToWait == portMAX_DELAY and INCLUDE_vTaskSuspend == 1.
