[PATCH] Documentation: sysfs-class-power: Update Long_Life description

["Derek J. Clark" <derekjohn.clark@gmail.com>]

While adding charge limiting support to the Lenovo WMI drivers, there
was some back and forth about whether charge_types or
charge_control_end_threshold was the appropriate attribute to expose a
battery charge limiting toggle that is fixed in the BIOS. The confusion
arose because the charge_control_end_threshold description closely
matches the functional change the hardware is making, while the
charge_types functionality better suits the actual an on/off toggle that
occurs in the BIOS. This specific scenario is not explicitly enumerated
in the documentation, though it is fairly common.

Given that the original intention was to use it this way[1],[2], and that
the samsung-laptop[3], ideapad-laptop[4], and lenovo-wmi-other[5] drivers
all use the convention of charge_types with an exposed Long_Life and
Standard value for this, codify it in the Documentation to avoid confusion
in the future.
