[PATCH] doc/raspberrypi: Added instructions for raspberrypi

Hello Niteesh,
thanks for extending the documentation. That's very valuable.
I had some white space bugs again when applying:
`````
.git/rebase-apply/patch:68: trailing whitespace.
.git/rebase-apply/patch:77: trailing whitespace.
arm-rtems5-gdb hello.exe
.git/rebase-apply/patch:85: trailing whitespace.
.git/rebase-apply/patch:86: trailing whitespace.
.git/rebase-apply/patch:85: new blank line at EOF.
+
`````
It's possible that for some code block it's necessary but there are at
least two that are not necessary.
For my workflow it was very useful to enable colors in git to get rid of
most of these errors. You can do that by the following command:
git config --global color.ui auto
With this you very clear red marks for white space errors in "git diff"
and similar commands.
Depending on your editor you might can enable some visual hints right in
the editor too.

I think the official form is "Raspberry Pi X". At least it's used in
that form on the start page of raspberrypi.org.

"preference" (I think?)

80 Characters again.

The dot should have one space to "You" and it should be in one line
together with the previous sentence.

Is there a reason why you emphasized the board name above but not here?
It's not limited to the samples from the RTEMS tests. So maybe change
that to something like:
"The following steps show how to run hello.exe on a Raspberry Pi 2.
Other executables can be processed in a similar way."

I'm not a native speaker but that sentence somehow sounds odd. Are you
sure it's correct?
