partitions/efi: complete documentation of gpt kernel param purpose
The usage of the 'gpt' kernel parameter is twofold: (i) skip any mbr
integrity checks and (ii) enable the backup GPT header to be used in
situations where the primary one is corrupted. This last "feature" is not
obvious and needs to be properly documented in the kernel-parameters
document.
