Add note about Pi5 "power down" state #3276

@lurch

Description

@lurch

The documentation sort of implies that pressing the powerbutton (to do a shutdown) turns the Pi5 into a "fully off" state. However I found that when connecting a HAT to a Pi5 in this "shutdown" state, this then caused the Pi5 to wake up again, which surprised me. I checked with @timg236 and he said that connecting the HAT probably caused the PMIC to reset, so the official advice should be to always ensure that the USB-C power-supply is physically removed from the Pi5, before connecting or disconnecting any HATs or other hardware.
