Subject: [PATCH] Note that Emacs pauses when handling sentinel errors

Noting this behavior and variable here makes it easier to understand

* doc/lispref/processes.texi (Filter Functions): Note that Emacs
pauses when handling sentinel errors.
(Sentinels): Note that Emacs pauses when handling sentinel errors.
