[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/6] powerpc/corenet_ds: Update README.srio-boot-corenet

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.
