The --unicode (aka --UCS-2) option enables not only encoding of command line args in UCS-2, but also decoding of them when reading and showing boot entries.

Update the description of this flag accordingly, both in the man page and in the usage message for efibootmgr.

Update README and README.md to have up-to-date --help output (it was quite far behind the current version).

Also, a couple of small fixes to error messages.

Include the current version of the --help output in the README files (up
to date with the parent of this commit).

I believe this should address confusion expressed e.g. in #169 and #195.

My #210 further slightly improves the output format.

Also somewhat related is #183, which aims to clarify how extra arguments are applied when creating entries.
