doc: usage: Update vxworks doc to mention RISC-V support


At present the doc only mentions Arm, PowerPC and x86. RISC-V support
has been added since VxWorks SR0650 support for a while, and U-Boot
supports loading a RISC-V VxWorks kernel too. Let's document it.

U-Boot supports loading VxWorks kernels via 'bootvx' and 'bootm' commands.
For booting old kernels (6.9.x) on PowerPC and ARM, and all kernel versions
on other architectures, 'bootvx' shall be used. For booting VxWorks 7 kernels
on PowerPC and ARM, 'bootm' shall be used.
on PowerPC/ARM/RISC-V, 'bootm' shall be used.
With CONFIG_EFI_LOADER option, it's possible to chain load a VxWorks x86 kernel
via the UEFI boot loader application for VxWorks loaded by 'bootefi' command.
VxWorks 7 on PowerPC and ARM

VxWorks 7 on PowerPC/ARM/RISC-V
-------------------------------
From VxWorks 7, VxWorks starts adopting device tree as its hardware description
mechanism (for PowerPC and ARM), thus requiring boot interface changes.
This section will describe the new interface.

When using the Linux compatible standard DTB, the calling convention of VxWorks
entry point is exactly the same as the Linux kernel.
For RISC-V, there is no legacy bootm flow as VxWorks always uses the same boot
interface as the Linux kernel, with the calling convention below::
void (*kernel_entry)(unsigned long hartid, void *fdt_addr)
When booting a VxWorks 7 kernel (uImage format), the parameters passed to bootm
is like below::
