DT: leds: Improve description of flash LEDs related properties
1. Since max-microamp property has had no users so far, then rename it to more descriptive led-max-microamp. 2. Since flash-timeout-us property has had no users so far, then rename it to more accurate flash-max-timeout-us. 3. Describe led-max-microamp property as mandatory for specific board configurations. 4. Make flash-max-microamp and flash-max-timeout-us properties mandatory for devices with configurable flash current and flash timeout settings respectively.
