The SoftDevice is now flashed automatically also for non-MCUboot board targets. Update documentation accordingly.

You can find the documentation preview for this PR here.

For example, for the ``bm_nrf54l15dk/nrf54l15/cpuapp/s115_softdevice`` board target, you must use the SoftDevice binary :file:`s115_nrf54l15_9.0.0-4.prototype_softdevice.hex` .
The SoftDevice is included as part of the build process and output as a separate ``SoftDevice`` image in the build directory.
With the MCUboot board target, the SoftDevice is signed and included as part of the MCUboot image.
When using ``west flash`` to program the application, the SoftDevice image is programmed together with the other images.
