Documentation/highmem: Add information about kmap_local_folio()

The differences between kmap_local_page() and kmap_local_folio() consist
only in the first taking a pointer to a page and the second taking two
arguments, a pointer to a folio and the byte offset within the folio which
identifies the page.

The two API's can be explained at the same time in the "Temporary Virtual
Mappings" section of the Highmem's documentation.

Add information about kmap_local_folio() in the same subsection that
explains kmap_local_page().
