docs: Improve documentation and parsing for efi=

Update parse_efi_param() to use parse_boolean() for "rs", so it behaves
like other Xen booleans.

However, change "attr=uc" to not be a boolean.  "no-attr=uc" is ambiguous and
shouldn't be accepted, but accept "attr=no" as an acceptable alternative.

Update the command line documentation for consistency.

All options are of boolean kind and can be prefixed with `no-` to
effect the inverse meaning.
Controls for interacting with the system Extended Firmware Interface.
> `rs`
* The `rs` boolean controls whether Runtime Services are used. By default,
Xen uses Runtime Services itself, and proxies certain calls on behalf of
dom0. Selecting `rs=0` prohibits all use of Runtime Services.
> Default: `true`
>> Force or disable use of EFI runtime services.
> `attr=uc`
> Default: `off`
>> Allows mapping of RuntimeServices which have no cachability attribute
>> set as UC.
* The `attr=` string exists to specify what to do with memory regions of
unknown/unrecognised cacheability. `attr=no` is the default and will
leave the memory regions unmapped, while `attr=uc` will map them as fully
uncacheable.
