man: update descriptions of argument-less kernel cmdline args

This updates the man page for the changes introduced in 1d84ad9445.
"=" is kep if the option is predominantly used with an argument, and dropped
otherwise.

v2:
 - update also description of log_color
 - drop '=' in all cases where it is optional
   (previous rule of dropping it only in some cases was just too arbitrary.)
