block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing

Recently commit bab55417b1 ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER.  However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.

Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.

In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
 - help text was not really at all helpful.
 - index file for Documentation was not updated
 - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
 - clarify wording in source comments

Parsing command line, get the partitions information.
Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from
the kernel boot args. This is typically of use for embedded devices
which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the
partitions on a block device.
