Update PROGMEM.adoc
The strings have to be in flash whether they are loaded at start up (the default) or when needed. Hence using embed or the F macro should have no impact on the flash use. There is a very small time penalty, about 1 clock cycle per character + a function call I expect, but I don't know enough about how the Atmega works to be certain.
Note that this PR partially addresses issue #739.
I updated issue #739, as it has been partially fixed by this pull request.
