site: build instructions: mention where to find binaries. 

Documenting where to find binaries built with 'make release' helps
users trying to build GNU Boot for the first time, especially if
something goes wrong.

It is also extremely useful for contributors writing release scripts
as this avoid needing to build a complete release just to find out the
name and location of released files.

When this is done you can build all the GNU Boot images with the
following command (this uses the Makefile):
You can then build everything with this command:
make release
When the compilation ends this should have created images for all the
computers supported by GNU Boot in release/roms/. For instance if you
are building GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 the image for the Thinkpad X60 will be
in release/roms/gnuboot-0.1-rc1_x60.tar.xz.
It will also create an archive of all the upstream source code used to
build GNU Boot but without any nonfree software in it. For GNU Boot
0.1 RC1 the archive will be in release/gnuboot-0.1-rc1_src.tar.xz.
If you use git revisions that are not releases you might instead end
up with something like '0.2-10-g1234abcdefg' instead of '0.1-rc1'
inside the file names. For the curious, that part of the filename is
computed with the 'git describe HEAD' command.
If instead you only want to build all the images and not build an
archive of the source code you can use this command:
make
This single command will build ROM images for *every* computer
supported by GNU Boot. If you only wish to build a limited set, you
can use the build script directly:
