Added a line to the API documentation of ParticleSystem.Play(), to clarify this behavior: **Note**: If you invoke this function again before the particle system has had time to spawn a particle, the particle system restarts its internal counters. This means that if you invoke this function continuously, a particle system with a low emission rate will never start to play.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “IN-94788 Particle Emission Bug - FAV.zip“ project (link in the internal comments)
2. Open the “Particles” scene
3. Go to the Game view (make sure the “Particle System” GameObject is not selected in the Hierarchy)
4. Enter Play mode
5. Observe the Game view
Expected result: The “Particle System” GameObject is emitting particles
Actual result: No particles are being emitted
