Fix up genrule documentation

- Remove a passage in the documentation of `cmd` that made reference to a concept that was previously removed from the documentation ("Note that outs are not included in this substitution"). "this substitution" originally referred to heuristic label expansion (see unknown commit), but the mention of heuristic label expansion was removed (unknown commit), leaving the sentence appearing to refer to `$(location)` substitution, but `outs` are indeed included in that substitution.

- Add some detail to `outs` documentation about how `cmd` should reference output paths (partially copied from the passage removed per the point above).

- Remove a passage about referring to *_binary targets in `cmd`; it feels both redundant and incomplete and seems generally unhelpful. The information it provides is expressed more clearly elsewhere.

- Fix links to `$(location)` substitution details (anchor is now #predefined_label_variables)
