doc: ti: am335x_evm: Minor general updates
- At this point there are a large number of Beaglebone boards, refer to them as a family rather than a growing list. - Reword customization as we're largely Kconfig-oriented now. - Remove the NOR section as the relevant defconfigs have long been removed and the general support was not updated.
