examples : add -kvu to batched usage example [no ci] (#17469)
This commit adds the --kv-unified flag to the usage example
in the README.md file for the batched example.

The motivation for this is that without this flag the example will fail
with the following error:
```console
Hello my name is
split_equal: sequential split is not supported when there are coupled
sequences in the input batch (you may need to use the -kvu flag)
decode: failed to find a memory slot for batch of size 4
main: llama_decode() failed
```
