doc: cli: note --infer-costs limitation, no missing amounts for now

Browse Source 
In journalFinalise currently things are done in this order:

...
1. infer costs from equity conversion postings if requested
2. balance transactions, possibly inferring a missing amount, and/or balancing costs if permitted
3. infer equity conversion postings from costs if requested
...

You would think that 1 could happen after 2, allowing missing amounts
to be inferred before attempting to infer costs from equity postings,
but somehow the current expected behaviour of tolerating excess costs
generated with --infer-costs depends on the current ordering.
Just document it for now.

@ -5051,6 +5051,7 @@ For `--infer-costs` to work, an exchange must consist of four postings:
(or if they are not declared, they must be named
`equity:conversion`, `equity:trade`, `equity:trading` or subaccounts of these)
3. the equity postings' amounts must exactly match the non-equity postings' amounts
4. all of the amounts must be explicit, with none missing
Multiple such exchanges can coexist within a single transaction, should you need that.
