hwdb: Document how to properly set the mount-matrix for the base-accelerometer in 360 degree hinges style 2-in-1s with 2 accelerometers

Browse Source 
Document how the mount-matrix for the base-accelerometer must be set on
360 degree hinges style 2-in-1s with 2 sensors (one in the display and
1 in the base).

Note the choice to define the lid being fully closed as an angle of
0 degrees is based on the ACPI tables of devices with a BOSC0200
ACPI device-node describing both sensors. In this case the ACPI
tables contain mount-matrix info (and the kernel will soon support
reading this and exporting it to userspace) and the mount-matrices
defined in these ACPI tables are such that the angle of the G-force
vector measured by the sensors is identical for both sensors when
the laptop's lid is fully closed.

This also feels more natural then defining the laptop being fully
open (180 degrees open) as the home / 0 degree angle position.
