Ora Doc for processes and related initialisation parameters

The Ora Doc for processes, sessions, and transactions details formulas used by Oracle to derive related parameter values. There is also at least one other parameter value derived from these hierarchical-related parameters, being dml_locks.

My findings are that essentially the formulas hold true for 11.1 but have changed in 11.2, but these changes are not reflected in the current Ora Doc.

I contributed to Charles Hooper's blog post on the topic where he explains the behaviour as a Doc Bug.
