doc: imx: reorganize i.MX documentation
Currently the U-Boot doc/ directory contains the following files
that are only relevant for i.MX devices:
- doc/README.imx25
- doc/README.imx27
- doc/README.imx5
- doc/README.imx6
- doc/README.imximage
- doc/README.mxc_hab
- doc/README.mxs
- doc/README.mxsimage
- doc/README.sdp
Move all content to a common i.MX folder for a better documentation
structure.
