Fix documentation of bootwrapper boot on juno
The user guide incorrectly claimed that it is possible to load a bootwrapped kernel over JTAG on Juno in the same manner as an EL3 payload. In the EL3 payload boot flow, some of the platform initialisations in BL2 are modified. In particular, the TZC settings are modified to allow unrestricted access to DRAM. This in turn allows the debugger to access the DRAM and therefore to load the image there. In the BL33-preloaded boot flow though, BL2 uses the default TZC programming, which prevent access to most of the DRAM from secure state. When execution reaches the SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT loop, the MMU is disabled and thus DS-5 presumably issues secure access transactions while trying to load the image, which fails. One way around it is to stop execution at the end of BL2 instead. At this point, the MMU is still enabled and the DRAM is mapped as non-secure memory. Therefore, the debugger is allowed to access this memory in this context and to sucessfully load the bootwrapped kernel in DRAM. The user guide is updated to suggest this alternative method.
