thinkpad-acpi: update HKEY and hotkey subdriver documentation (v2)
Update the hotkey driver documentation to match the behaviour
of the fixed NVRAM polling code.
This also documents some HKEY events such as the alarms,
which is very important information.

+When any of the "too hot" alarms happen, according to Lenovo the user
+should suspend or hibernate the laptop (and in the case of battery
+alarms, unplug the AC adapter) to let it cool down. These alarms do
+signal that something is wrong, they should never happen on normal
+operating conditions.
+
+The "extremely hot" alarms are emergencies. According to Lenovo, the
+operating system is to force either an immediate suspend or hibernate
+cycle, or a system shutdown. Obviously, something is very wrong if this
+happens.
