I found the existing explanation of RestartSteps to be simply impenetrable. Even providing the full docs context to several of our new AI overlords resulted in wildly different (and completely incorrect) explanations of the final restart intervals. Digging through the code, I found the restart delay computation in `service_restart_usec_next` in `src/core/service.c`. I've updated the documentation for RestartSteps with an example, suggested value range and a detailed enough explanation that accurately describes the current behavior.
