perlre: Don't name exact max non-consume depth

In a couple of places, this pod says that 50 is the recursion limit in
patterns without consuming any input, but that it is changeable by
recompiling perl.  Therefore, we shouldn't specify the quantity, because
it might not be the correct value.  Further, 50 is currently wrong.
