docs/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE: mention that menu-* options are strings
To be on the safe side, explicitly mention that apart from the numerical
entries we can allow string ones.
Implementation-wise, bootctl will use internal numerical values that
match sd-boot's ABI. The latter also accepts the string options.
Going forward we'd like to avoid adding more internal magic and be more
explicit.
