Instead of recommending 0 as the magic value to set max listeners to unlimited, recommend Infinity.

This paves the way for 0 as a magic value eventually being deprecated and finally removed

LGTM, but I don't think we need to ever deprecate/remove the use of 0 as magic value. It is a common paradigm.

One problem with removing references to setMaxListeners(0) (in favor of Infinity) is that if someone sees that in code and wants to look at the docs to figure out what's going on, the docs won't have an answer for them. Would you be opposed to rewording that to Set to Infinity (or zero) for unlimited.?

@chrisdickinson I'm okay with documenting 0 for a while. Ideally the whole point of this is for people to move away from using 0 at all. But for a transitional period, it makes sense to keep the old pattern documented. wording updated
