[PATCH v2] barebox update: add note after successful update

[Stefan Christ <s.christ@phytec.de>]

Some users of the barebox_update command forget to erase the external
barebox environment after updating the barebox. Using an old barebox
environment leads to various problems if there were major changes.

So add a gentle reminder after the successful update.
