Remove incorrect dtoverlay parsing info
The previous documentation for `BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_dtoverlay` described string-parsing behavior (e.g., quote handling for line splitting) that is no longer true as of supervisor v16+ This commit removes the outdated and incorrect information and points users directly to the official Raspberry Pi documentation, which is the correct reference. Change-type: patch Signed-off-by: Rahul Thakoor <rahul.thakoor@balena.io>

This modifies each parameter to be on its own line in order to avoid the 80 character line limit imposed by config.txt. It is the recommended method of setting one or more overlays with their own parameters.

This parsing will only be done if the value is a valid string, so if it doesn't begin with a quote `"`, the value will be parsed as a single string and not split into several lines. For instance `BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_dtoverlay = i2c-rtc,ds1307` will translate to:
