docs(packimage): describe how packimage replaces the root image archive

Browse Source 
The man page said that packimage overwrites the root image and that nodes
cannot use it while packimage runs. Describe the replacement instead, and
the disk space that it needs.

Packs the stateless image from the chroot file system into a file to be sent to the node for a diskless boot.
Note: For an osimage that is deployed on a cluster, running \ **packimage**\ will overwrite the existing rootimage file and be unavailable to the compute nodes while \ **packimage**\ is running.
Note: \ **packimage**\ writes the new file next to the existing one and replaces it only when the new file is complete. Compute nodes can download the existing file while \ **packimage**\ runs, and the existing file stays if \ **packimage**\ fails. The image directory needs space for both files while \ **packimage**\ runs.
