update Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt

Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that
are mostly unused except by such drivers.  We probably can't escape having
legacy drivers for a while (e.g.  old ISA drivers), but we can at least
discourage this style code for new drivers, and unless it's unavoidable.
