clarify wording on troubleshooting instructions

in hello board it says

  1. press and hold boot button on the board, start flash command, release boot button after flashing process starts

Context: sometimes (see context in #109) the firmware update tool fails to put the board in firmware upload mode, for reasons currently not 100% clear. The solution is to

  1. press and hold boot
  2. press and release reset
  3. release boot
  4. start a firmware build+upload (e.g. cargo espflash --release) and wait for it to complete (adding --monitor will not cause any harm but also not give any real benefits since you'll just be greeted with a waiting for download message)
  5. press reset once more (without holding the boot button)
  6. manually connecting to the serial via espmonitor <device>
