doc: mention that extlinux.conf can use environment in "append"

This option is very useful for A/B boot setups with read-only
filesystems: Letting U-Boot fill in the rootfs (and possibly related
parameters) allows keeping all boot parameters except the actual slot
selection in the extlinux.conf file, where they can be updated easily.
