Document how to add options to mandos-client when using dracut

* debian/mandos-client.README.Debian: Remove unnecessary word
  "simply".  Also add instructions on how to add the --connect=
  options to mandos-client when using dracut.
* dracut-module/ask-password-mandos.service ([Service]): Add comments
  that this file should *not* be modified, and explicit instructions
  on how to instead add extra options, like --debug, to mandos-client:
  using a systemd override unit file to set an environment variable.
