README: Describe CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
Unlike most configuration options defining this actually disables support for a feature (parallel flash). Eventually the logic behind this should probably be flipped so that '#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH' becomes '#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_PARALLEL_FLASH' but for now lets document the existing behaviour.

+- Parallel Flash support:
+ CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
+
+ Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
+ flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
+ flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
+ parallel flash.
+
+ If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
+ (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
+ selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
+ flash API (see include/flash.h).
