[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] rpi: rename board folder for consistency

All the Raspberry Pi files (packages and config) are prefix with "rpi",
so rename the board directory to "rpi" for consistency.

-Intro
-=====
-
-To be able to use your RaspberryPi board with the images generated by
-Buildroot, you have a prior choice to make, will you use:
-
- * Volatile rootfs in RAM (the rootfs is an initramfs) or
- * Persistent rootfs on the SDCard
-
-Also, a good source of information is http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Hub
-
-How to build it
-===============
-
-You need to use the rpi_defconfig, to do so:
-
- $ make rpi_defconfig
-
-If Volatile rootfs
-------------------
-
-Then, you need to select the kind of images you want:
-
- $ make menuconfig
-
- * Select "Filesystem images"
- * Select "initial RAM filesystem linked into linux kernel"
-
-Build
------
-
- $ make
-
-And take a coffee
-
-### What is generated
-
-After building, you should obtain this tree:
-
-    output/images/
-    +-- rootfs.tar
-    +-- rpi-firmware
-    |   +-- bootcode.bin
-    |   +-- config.txt
-    |   +-- fixup_cd.dat
-    |   +-- fixup.dat
-    |   +-- start_cd.elf
-    |   `-- start.elf
-    `-- zImage
-
-Note for Volatile: rootfs.tar will only be there if you kept
-"tar the root filesystem" option selected in "Filesystem images".
-
-Prepare you SDCard
-==================
-
-For more information, visit
-http://elinux.org/RPi_Advanced_Setup#Advanced_SD_card_setup
-
-In summary, your SDCard must have first partition in fat32 and marked bootable.
-
-If Persistent rootfs, 50Mo is enough memory for the boot fat32 partition.
-Create another partition, like ext4, for the root.
-
-Mount partition:
-
- $ sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/mountpointboot
-
- $ sudo mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt/mountpointroot
-
-Note: You can create any number of partitions you desire, the only requirement
-is that the first partition must be using fat32 and be bootable.
-
-Where should the binaries be copied on the SDCard
--------------------------------------------------
-
-At the root of the boot partition,
-the RaspberryPi must find the following files:
-
- * bootcode.bin
- * config.txt		(optional)
- * fixup_cd.dat
- * fixup.dat
- * start_cd.elf
- * start.elf
- * zImage
-
-For example: (Assuming mountpointboot is a directory and exists)
-
- $ cp ./rpi-firmware/* /mnt/mountpointboot/
-
- $ cp ./zImage /mnt/mountpointboot/zImage.img
-
-Note: The default name is kernel.img.
-Actually, the name is zImage and it's define in the file config.txt like:
-kernel=zImage
-
-### If Persistent rootfs partition
-
-The second partition will contain your rootfs.
-Simply extract (as root!) the contents of the rootfs.tar archive
-into this partition.
-
-For example: (Assuming mountpointroot is a directory and exists)
-
- $ sudo tar xf rootfs.tar -C /mnt/mountpointroot
