The documentation for max_iter, in MLPClassifier / MLPRegressor, just says that it sets the max number of "iterations". This is fine for L-BFGS, but when using minibatches (with SGD or ADAM, by default), in the standard terminology it actually sets the number of epochs. This is confusing, so this PR adds a clarification.
