Add documentation for 'Brim use EFC outline' option (#68)

* Add documentation for 'Brim use EFC outline' option

Documents the new 'Brim use EFC outline' setting, explaining its purpose and usage in relation to Elephant Foot Compensation. This helps users understand when to enable the option and its potential effects on brim adhesion and removal.

* Update

* Update others_settings_brim.md

Gap between the innermost brim line and the object.
Increasing the gap makes the brim easier to remove but reduces its adhesion benefit; very large gaps may eliminate contact and negate the brim's purpose.
### Brim use EFC outline
When enabled, the brim is aligned with the first-layer perimeter geometry after [Elephant Foot Compensation](quality_settings_precision#elephant-foot-compensation) is applied.
This option is intended for cases where [Elephant Foot Compensation](quality_settings_precision#elephant-foot-compensation) significantly alters the first-layer footprint.
If your current setup already works well, enabling it may be unnecessary and can cause the brim to fuse with upper layers.

## Precise wall
The 'Precise Wall' is a distinctive feature introduced by OrcaSlicer, aimed at improving the dimensional accuracy of prints and minimizing layer inconsistencies by slightly increasing the spacing between the outer wall and the inner wall when printing in [Inner Outer wall order](quality_settings_wall_and_surfaces#innerouter).
