doc: update multi-device recording docs, --multiple is deprecated

Browse source 
The --multiple flag is deprecated and a no-op in the current code
(libinput-record.c). Multiple devices can simply be specified as
arguments on the commandline. Update the documentation to reflect
the current usage.

@ -329,16 +329,13 @@ specific bug. For example, a touchpad may not work in response to keyboard
events. To accurately reproduce this sequence, the timing between multiple
devices must be correct and we need to record the events in one go.
``libinput record`` has a ``--multiple`` argument to record multiple devices at
once. Unlike the normal invocation, this one requires a number of arguments: ::
``libinput record`` can record multiple devices by specifying them on the
commandline. Recording multiple devices requires the ``--output-file``
argument: ::
$ sudo libinput record --multiple --output-file=touchpad-bug.yml /dev/input/event17 /dev/input/event3
$ sudo libinput record --output-file=touchpad-bug.yml /dev/input/event17 /dev/input/event3
recording to 'touchpad-bug.yml'
As seen above, a user must specify ``--multiple`` and the ``--output-file``.
Finally, all devices to be recorded must be specified on the commandline as
well.
Replaying events is the same as for a single recording: ::
$ sudo libinput replay touchpad-bug.yml
