Mention the file names used and that the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified.

2022-11-23offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value.Ludovic Courtès
When offloading to a single machine, the previous default value would lead 'guix offload' to wait possibly for several minutes between subsequent builds until normalized load would finally go below 0.6. Increasing it mitigates that. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (<build-machine>)[overload-threshold]: Bump to 0.8. * doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Likewise.
