doc: Update CoT binding to make it more generic

Updated the CoT binding document to show chain of trust relationship
with the help of 'authentication method' and 'authentication data'
instead of showing content of certificate and fixed rendering issue
while creating html page using this document.

Chain of trust bindings Chain of trust bindings
======================= =======================
The device tree allows to describes the chain of trust with the help of The device tree allows to describe the chain of trust with the help of
certificates and images nodes, which in turn contains number of sub-nodes 'cot' node which contain 'manifests' and 'images' as sub-nodes.
(i.e. certificate and image) mentioning properties for every certificate 'manifests' and 'images' nodes contains number of sub-nodes (i.e. 'certificate'
and image respectively. and 'image' nodes) mentioning properties of the certificate and image respectively.
Also, this binding allows to describe OID of non-volatile counters, memory
mapped address and size of non-volatile counter register.
