bip-0141: clarify the sigop count calculation for CHECKMULTISIG
Since the sigOpCount calculation was copied from P2SH, and P2SH restricts the use of CHECKMULTISIG with pushed integers the reference implementation would not take into account the number of public keys for 17 to 20 keys (not representable with an OP_N) even for P2WSH. Therefore it fallbacks to accounting for 20 sigops in this case, which this sentence seemed to mismatch with. Btcd and Libbitcoin use the same calculation as in Bitcoin Core.

Each P2WPKH input is counted as 1 sigop. In addition, opcodes within a P2WSH <code>witnessScript</code> are counted identically as previously within the P2SH <code>redeemScript</code>. That is, CHECKSIG is counted as only 1 sigop, and CHECKMULTISIG is counted as 1 to 20 sigops according to the arguments. This rule applies to both native witness program and P2SH witness program.
