* bootable-usb: Add extra caution about unmount

Not unmounting an USB partition before an image is burned could cause
file system checksum errors leading to other issues (including kernel
panics) when trying to boot from the USB drive. This commit adds an extra
caution note to warn the users about the possible issues they could find
when this step is not followed correctly.

* bootable-usb: Add o_sync to the dd command

Update the example 'dd' command to burn an image, by adding the 'oflag=sync'
option. This allows to reduce the flashing time in conjunction with the
recommended 'bs=4M', enables a more accurate progress indicator, and allows
to remove the additional sync command, while preserving some cache
optimizations.
