README: remove Minicom comment

Browse source 
The main README file is the wrong place to document how different terminal
emulations can be used to access the U-Boot serial console. C-Kermit which
requires a configuration file or several commands to access the U-Boot
console may not be the preferred choice for newcomers. The provided wiki
link is invalid.

The man-pages for loadb and loads already show how to use the commands with
picocom.

Minicom warning:
================
Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
https://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
for help with kermit.
Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
