doc: extend documentation for supported hardware
The documentation does now contain the names of the images and information about where to find the serial console ports of the boards. As some hardware platforms do currently not work again after the recent rework, we remove them from the ToC for now and re-add them later when they have been tested and fixed. Adding Build doc to .gitignore. Signed-off-by: Chris Fiege <c.fiege@pengutronix.de> [improve commit message] Signed-off-by: Robert Schwebel <r.schwebel@pengutronix.de>
