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

[Rodney Dunn]

All the old images that are listed as DF will not
be put back on CCO so it's not advised to be running
them.

It's my fault that I missed the later image would
still fit.

Bottom line..the two images on CCO for the 4M flash
that are not listed as deferred are the two I mentioned and
that's what the FN will be updated to reflect. Those
are what Cisco recommends you run for now.
