[Bug 1010708] Re: create armadaxp netboot directory and move files into it

[Robie Basak]

This just caused a regression from my perspective, because we had tools
that were working against Precise and just broke because the armadaxp
netboot images just vanished (from the perspective of the script).

I notice that the server install instructions have already been updated
to link to the new location, so perhaps this is not so bad on this
occasion. The amount of tooling around armadaxp is currently fairly
limited, so it is probably better overall to have Precise's netboot
location consistent since it won't be too hard to update things.

But in future, other automated tools (eg. MAAS) will expect to find the
netboot images at the same location that they were at release time.
Please consider these (and tools used by users that we can't necessarily
update) before moving netinst image URLs after release in future.
