[atlas] Questions about paris traceroute

Hi,

It used to be true that the default measurement frequency was also the
minimum. We've changed that to allow more frequent measurements, but
apparently not all the documentation reflects that. We'll update the
documentation.

While technically it would be possible to add some feature to the system to
do multiple paris variations at (or close to) the same time, this would add
a lot of complications to the code base and to result parsing (which is
already not simple). Instead, it is already possible to schedule multiple
measurements to run at roughly the same time, which provides an
approximation to what you describe here.

Regards,
Robert
