sched/isolation: Document isolcpus= boot parameter flags, mark it deprecated

Document the latest updates on the isolcpus= boot option. While at it,
let's also fix the details about the preferred way to isolate a set of
CPUs from the scheduler general domains. Cpusets offer a much better
interface to achieve that.
