Update comments in load_image()

- Fix the function documentation.
  Since commit 16948ae1, load_image() uses image IDs rather than image
  names.

- Clarify the consequences of a null entry point argument.

- Slightly reorganize the code to remove an unnecessary 'if' statement.

* Generic function to load an image at a specific address given a name and
* extents of free memory. It updates the memory layout if the load is
* successful, as well as the image information and the entry point information.
* The caller might pass a NULL pointer for the entry point if it is not
* interested in this information, e.g. because the image just needs to be
* loaded in memory but won't ever be executed.
* Generic function to load an image at a specific address given an image ID and
* extents of free memory.
*
* If the load is successful then the image information is updated.
*
* If the entry_point_info argument is not NULL then this function also updates:
* - the memory layout to mark the memory as reserved;
* - the entry point information.
*
* The caller might pass a NULL pointer for the entry point if they are not
* interested in this information. This is typically the case for non-executable
* images (e.g. certificates) and executable images that won't ever be executed
* on the application processor (e.g. additional microcontroller firmware).
*
* Returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise.
