Fix (length NON-SEQUENCE) documentation
Suggested by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> in the following threads:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-07/msg00171.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-07/msg00206.html
* doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions): Mention that
