man: fix LoaderDevicePathUUID + LoaderImageIdentifier descriptions

Browse Source 
First of all, these were always set, i.e. since sd-boot was merged into
our tree, i.e. v220. Let's say so explicitly.

Also, let's be more accurate, regarding which partition this referes to:
it's usually "the" ESP, but given that you can make firmware boot from
arbitrary disks, it could be any other partition too. Hence, be
explicit on this.

Also, clarify tha sd-stub will set this too, if sd-boot never set it.
