README.hardware: update the beagleboard serial port documentation
Update the README.hardware beagleboard description to account for the use
of the OMAP_SERIAL in recent kernel recipes. Add a note documenting how to
use the old 8250 based serial devices for older kernels.
Correct a type.
Correct the boot script name from user.scr to boot.scr.
