doc: board: ti: j784s4_evm: Automate BAR address lookup for PCIe Boot

When the J784S4-EVM is configured for PCIe Boot, the Bootloaders are to
be written to the address specified by particular BARs. The existing
documentation hard-codes the address corresponding to the BAR under the
assumption that the Root-Complex transferring the Bootloaders is also
a J784S4-EVM. The Root-Complex assigns addresses to the BARs depending
on the currently available set of free system addresses. Since the free
system addresses vary with the Root-Complex being used, instead of
hard-coding the BARs, automate the process of identifying the appropriate
BAR in the form of a command to be run by the user on the Root-Complex.
