Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] docs: landlock: clarify TTY signal scoping

LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL limits signals sent to arbitrary processes outside
a domain.  A PTY master differs because its holder controls attached
processes through input and signal injection.

Clarify this boundary in the userspace guide and narrow the UAPI
description to arbitrary target processes.

Built the userspace-api docs; no new warnings.
