Add clarity for use of multiplier (#2763) 

For seasonal changes, it’s easier to use the multiplier to adjust the watering time instead of adjusting the run durations directly. Set your run duration to the time you want for ‘mild’ weather (spring/autumn) and then use the multiplier to increase (summer) or decrease (winter) the calculated run times.

***********************************
Sets the multiplier value used to proportionally increase or decrease the run duration for all valves/zones.
When a given valve is activated, this value is multiplied by the valve's run duration (see below) to determine the
valve's actual run duration. *Note that a multiplier value of zero is allowed; if the multiplier value is zero, the
sprinkler controller will not start any valves.* **This can result in confusing/unexpected behavior if a visual
indication of this condition is not available!**
