README: Add PID Output Clamping section

Browse Source 
Explains the need of having separate "max_i_pos/output_max" and
"max_i_neg/output_min" values; They serve different purposes.

### PID output clamping
It is possible to clamp the PID algorithm output independently of channel output limits. This is desirable when e.g. there is a need to keep the current value above a certain threshold in closed-loop mode.
Note that the actual output will still ultimately be limited by the `max_i_pos` and `max_i_neg` values.
Set PID maximum output of channel 0 to 1.5 A.
```
pid 0 output_max 1.5
```
Set PID minimum output of channel 0 to 0.1 A.
```
pid 0 output_min 0.1
```
