[PATCH 4/5] doc: uefi: update mkeficapsule documentation

From: Malte Schmidt <malte.schmidt at weidmueller.com>

mkeficapsule now supports multiple blobs. Update the documentation
accordingly. Although the image blob can still be specified as
positional parameter for backwards compatibility, remove it from
the documentation to discourage its usage.
