update-done: adjust comments

The man page was right, but the comment in the generated file was wrong. The
timestamp is *not* the timestamp when the update is being done. While at it,
say to what directory the message applies. This makes it easier for a casual
reader to figure out what is happening.

Also rename the function to better reflect what it does.

Inspired by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/36045.
