The doc claimed "Each element is saved after its initialization" but Seq.init does not cache elements — the initializer function is reapplied on each iteration, same as Seq.initInfinite. Update the description to match actual behavior and add a reference to Seq.cache for users who need cached results. Fixes dotnet#14233

Please keep the complexity docs. In case of seq, those can be also split into construction complexity and enumeration complexity (expressed in terms of function invocations in this case)

The
Seq.initXML doc claimed "Each element is saved after its initialization" but this is incorrect —Seq.initdoes not cache elements. The initializer function is reapplied on each iteration, exactly likeSeq.initInfinite.Changes:
