i2c: Mention functionality flags in SMBus protocol documentation
While the mapping between I2C adapter functionality flags and
i2c_smbus_*() helper functions is rather obvious, let's still document
it for clarity.
Also drop the reference to 2 command byte I2C block reads, there is no
support for that in the kernel at the moment.

single data byte, the functions using SMBus protocol operation names execute
a different protocol operation entirely.
+Each transaction type corresponds to a functionality flag. Before calling a
+transaction function, a device driver should always check (just once) for
+the corresponding functionality flag to ensure that the underlying I2C
+adapter supports the transaction in question. See
+<file:Documentation/i2c/functionality> for the details.
