loader: Document that WITH_BEARSSL may need other tweaks
/boot/loader is right up aginst the 500k limit we have to make sure everything works in a wide variety of environments. However, adding WITH_BEARSSL can push it over the edge since we are so close to the limit with it enabled. One may also need to increase LOADERSIZE when enabling it. It's often safe to go much higher, especially when you don't plan on using pxeldr. Document this trade off here.
