Bump U-Boot and kernel to their latest releases.
Remove the documented limitations. Recent kernels added support for the
SOM SPI flash, and the carrier SFP port.
Mention the 'dd' command in the warning text. No script is involved.

Update the kernel version to 4.17.2.
Update U-Boot version to 2018.05.
Migrate to U-Boot generic distro configuration which is easier than the
hand written boot script.
Improve the 'dd' command example in readme.txt.

My goal was to rely on upstreamed features as much as possible, which
means that some bits are only half-baked for now:
- Due to the DTS restructuring in upstream kernel, we require 4.11+. The
latest LTS or CIP kernels do not know about the -Base model.
- Linux has no generic support for SFP cages (yet). It seems that this
has hit the net-next tree in August 2017, but there's been no release
(it's probably targettting 4.14). Also, the merge only included the
required infrastructure; the mvneta driver conversion is not included.
Patches which finalize this exist in Russel King's tree and also in
random vendor trees.
- There's no access to the SPI flash in these versions of
uboot/linux/dts.
