doc: Add documentation for bootloader_{type,version}

Add documentation for kernel/bootloader_type and
kernel/bootloader_version to sysctl/kernel.txt.  This should really
have been done a long time ago.

+bootloader_type:
+
+x86 bootloader identification
+
+This gives the bootloader type number as indicated by the bootloader,
+shifted left by 4, and OR'd with the low four bits of the bootloader
+version.  The reason for this encoding is that this used to match the
+type_of_loader field in the kernel header; the encoding is kept for
+backwards compatibility.  That is, if the full bootloader type number
+is 0x15 and the full version number is 0x234, this file will contain
+the value 340 = 0x154.
+
+See the type_of_loader and ext_loader_type fields in
+Documentation/x86/boot.txt for additional information.
+
+==============================================================
+
+bootloader_version:
+
+x86 bootloader version
+
+The complete bootloader version number.  In the example above, this
+file will contain the value 564 = 0x234.
