Mention COT build option in trusted-board-boot-build.rst
Since commit 3bff910dc16ad5ed97d470064b25481d3674732b ("Introduce COT build option"), it is now possible to select a different Chain of Trust than the TBBR-Client one. Make a few adjustments in the documentation to reflect that. Also make some minor improvements (fixing typos, better formatting, ...) along the way.
