TFTP boot: warn users about network hardware incompatibility #805

Disabling STP frames in the network worked wonders, by the way. |
@ghollingworth Any thoughts Gordon? |

I do not have suitable hardware to test this on, so would only be adding, YMMV If you have some specific examples of switches that do not work can you add a note as a pull request? Thanks |

I believe the tutorial page https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/net_tutorial.md deserves a mention about the incompatibility of networking hardware.
I know it's mentioned here https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/pi-3-booting-part-ii-ethernet-all-the-awesome/ but to save other peoples' time I would certainly mention it on the main tutorial page.
It can be frustrating to debug why nothing works, if the R-Pi firmware has trouble negotiating link with the switch/computer on the other end.
Most of my networking hardware was incompatible, finally got hold of HP 1810-24G that worked.
