Improve auto-revert-mode and revert-buffer doc strings
* lisp/autorevert.el (auto-revert-mode): * lisp/files.el (revert-buffer): Mention that there is revert-buffer-with-fine-grain that is better suited for markers preservation (bug#49661).

When a buffer is reverted, a message is generated. This can be
suppressed by setting `auto-revert-verbose' to nil.
+Reverting may also break markers in the buffer. To avoid that
+you may set `revert-buffer-insert-file-contents-function' to the
+slower function `revert-buffer-insert-file-contents-delicately'.
+See its description for details.
+
Use `global-auto-revert-mode' to automatically revert all buffers.
Use `auto-revert-tail-mode' if you know that the file will only grow
without being changed in the part that is already in the buffer."
