Improve DISCARD documentation.

Browse Source 
The new DISCARD SEQUENCES option was inadequately described, and hadn't
been mentioned at all in the initial Description paragraph.  Rather than
rectifying the latter the hard way, it seemed better to rewrite the
description as a summary, instead of having it basically duplicate
statements made under Parameters.  Be more consistent about the ordering
of the options, too.
