seq: improve documentation about new get pid/card functions

Browse source 
Document the technique for determining if the running kernel supports
the new snd_seq_client_info_get_pid and snd_seq_client_info_get_card
functions. Also add a little information about how to use these
functions and add some cross references.

* The functionality for getting a client's PID and getting a
