secilc/docs: Update the CIL documentation for various blocks

Update the documentation for macros, booleans, booleanifs, tunables,
tunableifs, blocks, blockabstracts, blockinherits, and optionals to
tell where these statements can be used and, for those that have
blocks, what statements are not allowed in them.
