BT410 5.3.92a: reconcile two stale claims in MECH2.NOTES.md

The slot-map section added in 5.3.92 corrected two things the doc still
asserted higher up: that gimpStrideLength is authored negative (the sign is
applied at measurement) and that animationClips is sized AnimationCount (it is
AnimationSlotCount, 0x21). Both now agree with the correction rather than
leaving a reader to hit the stale version first.
