David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Minor doc updates:

- Itemize the list of private customization examples
  for openocd.cfg

 - Add "override defaults" as a customization, specifically
  for the work area (back it up or relocate it)

 - Highlight some work area location issues

For example, a @code{gdb-attach} event handler that invokes
the @command{reset init} command will interfere with debugging
early boot code, which performs some of the same actions

You might need to override some defaults.
For example, you might need to move, shrink, or back up the target's
work area if your application needs much SRAM.

When possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up,
since performing a backup slows down operations.
For example, the beginning of an SRAM block is likely to
be used by most build systems, but the end is often unused.
