[PATCH] Documentation: state: add real-world example for stride size calculation

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

The usual use of barebox state is to store the bootstate for
bootchooser. Thus change the example to use the minimum size of the
bootstate variable set instead and relate the result to stride size and
partition size.
