block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing
Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.
Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.
In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
- help text was not really at all helpful.
- index file for Documentation was not updated
- add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
- clarify wording in source comments

+Support for reading the block device partition table from the command line.
+It is typically used for fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices.
+It has no MBR, so saves storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed
by absolute address of data on the block device.
Users can easily change the partition.
