doc: Add a description for bootmeth_sandbox

Add documentation for the sandbox bootmeth.

Fix up the compatible string to drop the 'extlinux' part, which is not
relevant to this bootmeth.

+Sandbox Bootmeth
+================
+
+The sandbox bootmeth is only used for testing. It does not provide any facility
+for booting an OS. While sandbox can do all the processing before the actual
+boot, it is not connected in this bootmeth.
+
+When invoked on a bootdev, this bootmeth pretends to find a bootflow and creates
+the associated structure.
+
+When the bootflow is booted, the bootmeth returns `-ENOTSUPP` indicating that it
+is not supported.
+
+The compatible string "u-boot,sandbox-bootmeth" is used for the driver. It is present
+if `CONFIG_BOOTMETH_SANDBOX` is enabled.
