Summary

Using board.md is the standard (and only) way to add information about a board to the top of its download page. The board.md file is processed by tools/autobuild/build-downloads.py.

A lot of boards already use this facility, but some had stray markdown files named readme.md and README.md. Rename those files to board.md so their contents appears on the board download page.

Testing

Ran ./tools/autobuild/build-downloads.py . ./boards and inspected the output of the boards changed in this PR, both before and after this change. After the change the relevant info is added to the board markdown file.

Trade-offs and Alternatives

This info already exists for these boards so may as well make it available on the download page, instead of users needing to discover it by searching the repo source.
