i2c: testunit: improve documentation

Mention that new CMDs will be NACKed while the old one is still
on-going, that the I2C address parameter of READ_BYTES is 7 bit only,
and reword one paragraph to be more precise.

DELAY is a generic parameter which will delay the execution of the test in CMD.
While a command is running (including the delay), new commands will not be
acknowledged. You need to wait until the old one is completed.
The commands are described in the following section. An invalid command will
result in the transfer not being acknowledged.
