options: fix --volume option range, add some explanations to manpage
The --volume option accepted values up to 10000, but internally, the value is always clipped to 0-100 range. What makes this even worse is that --softvol-max suggests that it extends the range of --volume, which is not the case. (And passing a volume larger than 100 to --volume didn't even print a warning.)

current level. With values below 100 the initial volume (which is 100%)
will be above the maximum, which e.g. the OSD cannot display correctly.
+ Note: the maximum value of ``--volume`` as well as the ``volume`` property
+ is always 100. Likewise, the volume OSD bar always goes from 0 to 100.
+ This means that with ``--softvol-max=200``, ``--volume=100`` means
+ maximum amplification, i.e. amplify by 200%. The default volume will be
+ ``50`` in this case (meaning no amplification).
