rmc: Add NUC Gen 6 post-installation hook and update documentation
This change shows how we can get rid of an error message caused by board-specific design at runtime, and still keep the rest in system generic. The new added hook removes line(s) in inittab which triggers the error. README of rmc is also updated accordingly. Fixes [YOCTO #5351].
