manual: Fix and improve documentation about -@
Device trees with a /plugin/ tag ("overlays") generate a __fixups__ node
when needed and independent of -q being given or not. The same is true for
__local__fixups__. So don't mention these two nodes in the paragraph about
-@.
To not shorten the description too much, describe the semantic of the
properties contained in the generated __symbols__ node.
