Add a BUGS section that shows that ids that appear to be

negative are now ignored by the quota system and that extremely
large ids may make quotacheck run for a very long time.

Also mention that "options QUOTA" is required for the kernel
to provide quota support.

The quota system will ignore UIDs or GIDs that would be negative
when evaluated as a signed value.
Typically those types of ids can appear in the file system from NFS
mounts or archive files from other operating systems.
Extremely large UIDs or GIDs will cause
.Nm
to run for an unreasonable amount of time and also produce extremely
large quota data files.
