doc: fix details on the interaction of df with device nodes
* man/df.x: Don't say that a dev node is always on the root file system.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Likewise. Also state that the
device node to mounted file system interpretation is only done when
passed absolute paths to device nodes.
