sync: extend documentation for watch::Receiver::wait_for
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- The "Cancel safety" section was missing, as reported in tokio-rs#7021.
- Add the "Panics" section since technically the method can panic.
- Change the doctest to mimic the one for `changed` (also I find the
current version slightly more confusing than it should be).

Fixes: tokio-rs#7021
