Clarify maximum parameter ranges in minorminer.find_embedding #282

Description

@jackraymond

Current Problem
Some parameters such as max_no_improvement, inner_rounds, chainlength_patience, timeout take integer values, but it is useful to set them to effectively infinite for sake of benchmarking. I.e we fix the timeout to a finite value and work to that timeout (or fix some other parameter with unbounded timeout). The documentation doesn't currently make it clear how to do this.

Proposed Solution
Workarounds are available setting values to -1 or None in some cases, or simply a very large integer that can be assumed safe under any type of casting like 1000000, documentation could simply be improved to make this clear.

Alternatives Considered
None
