Fix documentation which firmware versions require signed vs. unsigned #130

Closed fiveangle closed 1 year ago

Per Linksys release notes firmware signing requirement is enforced only for versions >= 1.2.00.273012

Resolves #116

Was too focused on finding all the spots and trying to make it a little clearer. Totally missed that signed firmware didn't become required until a version after support for signed images was introduced. Thanks for correcting that @fiveangle.

I also meant to add the reference/link to the Linksys Release Notes, but apparently forgot to do that. Maybe you could shoehorn that in somewhere if you catch it before this gets merged.

The Linksys release notes are not permalinks, so are guaranteed to go out of date before the ubi installer is updated. Furthermore, the Linksys release notes link for both 1.1.x and 1.2.x, are identical so pushing to here might lead OpenWRT users to believe the link is incorrect for 1.1.x FW, requiring them to dig further to confirm anyway. Leaving the OpenWRT wiki page for the E8450 as the master source for this info seems best in order to prevent stale info.
