Update some descriptions due to the implementation changes:
For master:
Get rid of the SRIOBOOT_MASTER build target, and to support
for serving as a SRIO boot master via environment variable.
For slave:
1. When compile the slave image for boot from SRIO, no longer
need to specify which SRIO port it will boot from.
2. All slave's cores should be in hold off.
