The 'fd-bootchk' option for pc and q35 machines currently lacks of
description in the help output. This makes it difficult for users
to understand the purpose of the command.
This commit solve this issue by adding description using
object_class_property_set_description() in hw/i386/pc.c,
adding the the description message for the option 'fd-bootchk'.

I'd maybe use a text based on the description from "-no-fd-bootchk" in the
qemu-opions.hx file:
"Enable/disable boot signature checking for floppy disks in BIOS."
?
... so that it is clear that this influences the behaviour in the BIOS.
