doc: imx: Move SPD related info to the appropriate doc
Currently the Serial Download Protocol tools and procedure are documented in two places: - doc/imx/README.sdp - doc/imx/README.imx6 It is better to consolidate all SDP related information into README.sdp file, so move the content from README.imx6 to README.sdp.

The host side utilities are typically capable to interpret the i.MX
specific image header (see doc/README.imximage). There are extensions
for imx_loader's imx_usb utility which allow to interpret the U-Boot
specific legacy image format (see mkimage(1)). Also the U-Boot side
support beside the i.MX specific header the U-Boot legacy header.
