Correct descriptions of some boot options (raspberrypi#678)
* Correct descriptions of some boot options I think we should also move arm_64bit here from the Misc section, but that is more a matter of opinion so I've left it there for now. * copy edits lines 34, 62

`kernel` is the alternative filename on the boot partition to use when loading the kernel. The default value on the Pi 1, Pi Zero, and Compute Module is is `kernel.img`, and on the Pi 2, Pi 3, and Compute Module 3 it is `kernel7.img`. If `kernel8.img` is present on the Pi 3 or Compute Module 3, it will be loaded in preference and entered in 64-bit mode.

`init_uart_clock` is the initial UART clock frequency. The default value is `48000000` (48MHz). Note that this clock only applies to UART0 (ttyAMA0 in Linux), and that the maximum baudrate for the UART is limited to 1/16th of the clock. The default UART on the Pi 3 and Pi Zero is UART1 (ttyS0 in Linux), and its clock is the core VPU clock - at least 250MHz.
