bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Update multiconfig syntax and explanation of BBMULTICONFIG

The syntax to use multiconfig builds changed from multiconfig:foo:target
to mc:foo:target, change the syntax on bitbakes documentation.

Clarify that BBMULTICONFIG defines additional configurations along with
the one coming from local.conf.
