[c-nsp] boot images for 72xx to fix in 4M flash

[Ian Dickinson]

CCO lists this as deferred:

DDTS No(s):
CSCsa81379
Headline: Retirement of NetFlow Feature Acceleration; No upgrade required

So it doesn't look particularly unsafe, but will we run into support
issues with TAC by using this?

I've been using c7200-boot-mz.120-24.S.bin for some time - I don't
know if there are any boot related fixes between this and S6 though.
I suspect I'm in the same boat whatever :-)
