docs: riscv: convert boot-image-header.txt to ReST
Convert this small file to ReST format by: - Using a proper markup for the document title; - marking a code block as such; - use tags for Author and date; - use tables for bit map fields. While here, fix a broken reference for a document with is planned but is not here yet.

- This header can also be reused to support EFI stub for RISC-V in future. EFI

specification needs PE/COFF image header in the beginning of the kernel image
|

in order to load it as an EFI application. In order to support EFI stub,
|
||||
code0 should be replaced with "MZ" magic string and res5(at offset 0x3c) should
|

point to the rest of the PE/COFF header.
