doc: csplit: clarify handling of regexps with negative offsets

* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Detail the behavior
with regexp patterns and negative offsets, which differs from
line number patterns, to avoid looping on the input.  For example:
  $ seq 50 | csplit -s - /15/-5 /12/
  csplit: ‘/12/’: match not found
