otter: Simplify installation instructions off rollback 

- The updated bootloader exposes `fastboot oem reset-spl` to reset the
  rollback.
- The rollback is also automatically wiped when unlocking the
  bootloader, but add the command explicitly, in-case the bootloader in
  which the user last was on didn't have the support for this.
