board/raspberrypi/readme.txt: add note for bootcode.bin

Browse Source 
The second-stage bootloader is contained in the onboard EEPROM[1] since
the Raspberry Pi 4 (i.e. for pi4, pi400, cm4, cm4s and pi5).

Therefore, the file bootcode.bin[2] is needed for the former Raspberry
Pi only (i.e. pi1, pi2, pi3, pi0, pi0w and pizero2w).

This adds a note precising the file bootcode.bin is present for the
former versions of the Raspberry Pi.
