Minor Session / Lock Related Documentation Fixes (#5037) 

* website: specify value of acquire/release params for kv

* website: clarify leader election usage in TTL docs

* website: document minimal value of lockdelay

I believe it uses the default when parsing 0 as it
views that as an empty parameter in this case.

the TTL expires. The lowest practical TTL should be used to keep the number of
managed sessions low. When locks are forcibly expired, such as during a leader
election, sessions may not be reaped for up to double this TTL, so long TTL
managed sessions low. When locks are forcibly expired, such as when following
the [leader election pattern](/docs/guides/leader-election.html) in an application,
sessions may not be reaped for up to double this TTL, so long TTL
values (> 1 hour) should be avoided.
