docs/system/arm/aspeed: Add AST1040 Bridge IC evaluation board
Update the Aspeed AST10x0 documentation to include the AST1040 evaluation board and clarify the AST10x0 family classification. The documentation now describes: - AST1030 and AST1040 as Bridge IC devices - AST1060 as a Platform Root of Trust processor - AST1040 Cortex-M4F CPU frequency running at 400 MHz Also add the ast1040-evb machine entry to the supported AST10x0 SoC based machine list.
