Improve documentation on quick syncs

Make clear that quick syncs do not happen inbetween full syncs (ie they
are part of the regular autorefresh intervals and don't happen within
them). This part of the documentation had confused many.

# You can tell offlineimap to do a number of quicker synchronizations # OfflineImap can replace a number of full updates by quick
# between full updates. A quick synchronization only synchronizes # synchronizations. It only synchronizes a folder if 1) a Maildir
# if a Maildir folder has changed, or if an IMAP folder has received # folder has changed, or 2) if an IMAP folder has received new messages
# new messages or had messages deleted. It does not update if the # or had messages deleted, ie it does not update if only IMAP flags have
# only changes were to IMAP flags. Specify 0 to never do quick updates, # changed. Full updates need to fetch ALL flags for all messages, so
# -1 to always do quick updates, or a positive integer to do that many # this makes quite a performance difference (especially if syncing
# quick updates between each full synchronization (requires autorefresh). # between two IMAP servers).
# Specify 0 for never, -1 for always (works even in non-autorefresh
# mode), or a positive integer <n> to do <n> quick updates before doing
# another full synchronization (requires autorefresh). Updates are
# always performed after <autorefresh> minutes, be they quick or full.
