    Fix (length NON-SEQUENCE) documentation
    
    Suggested by Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden> in the following threads:
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-07/msg00171.html

    * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions): Mention that
    'length' signals a 'wrong-type-argument' also when given a
    non-sequencep argument.
