binutils/doc: Update documentation for nm --size-sort 

The documentation for 'nm --size-sort' is out of step with the code, the
special handling for ELF is not mentioned in the documentation, and
could cause confusion to a user.

@item --size-sort
Sort symbols by size. The size is computed as the difference between
the value of the symbol and the value of the symbol with the next higher

is printed, rather than the value, and @samp{-S} must be used in order
both size and value to be printed.
