[PATCH] doc: board: xilinx: zynq.rst: add description how to flash a SD card

Add a short description in the ZYNQ documentation how to prepare a SD card and copy the related images to SD card.
I think, it's necessary for the documentation to avoid such user questions (like mine) in this list.
Okay?

remove these 4 lines above from commit message and move it below ---.
And no problem to extend documentation for newcomers.

Oops, sorry! But "/dev/sdx1" should be correct according to command "sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdx1".
At least on my used system. Typo?
