  incorrectly

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  update-secureboot-policy did not include any help text.

  [Test case]
  - verify 'sudo update-secureboot-policy' works as expected (prompts to disable Secure Boot if it's enabled)
  - verify 'sudo update-secureboot-policy --disable' works as expected (same as above)
  - verify 'sudo update-secureboot-policy --enable' re-enables Secure Boot after it has been disabled (ie. after a run with --disable and a reboot)
  - verify 'update-secureboot-policy --help' displays help text.

  [Regression Potential]
  None. The default behavior without a parameter remains to try to disable Secure Boot if it's not already disabled. --enable is documented behind a new parameter --help which displays usage information.

  ---

  Subject says it all.  Having to read the source to discover --enable
  was irksome.  There should probably also be an opposite explicit
  --disable.
