Matthew Leeds 76a5c63c19 doc/flatpak-build-bundle.xml: Add a usage example
In the output of `flatpak build-bundle --help` it's not clear what
LOCATION is, so the least we can do is add an example of its usage to
the man page. At some point it would be nice to also have explanations
of positional arguments in help output.
