ramips: fix RBM33G partitioning

Browse source 
This patch improves 5684d08741 by correcting
the partition scheme for the "RouterBoot" section of the flash.

The partition scheme initially submitted is incorrect and does not reflect
the actual flash structure.

The "RouterBoot" section (name matching OEM) is subdivided in several
static segments, as they are on ar71xx RB devices albeit with different
offsets and sizes.
The naming convention from ar71xx has been preserved, except for the
bootloaders which are named "bootloader1" and "bootloader2" to avoid
confusion with the master "RouterBoot" partition.
The preferred 'fixed-partitions' DTS node syntax is used, with nesting
support as introduced in 2a598bbaa3.
"partition" is used for node names, with associated "label" to match
policy set by 6dd94c2781.

The OEM source code also define a "RouterBootFake" partition at the
beginning of the secondary flash chip: to avoid trouble if OEM ever makes
use of that space, it is also defined here.

The resulting partition scheme looks like this:

Leave a note in DTS to explain how the original author selected the SPI speed.
