[cisco-voip] Copying 7925 Firmware files to CCM 4.1(3) without using installer

[Wes Sisk]

The installer may also load the device type into the database so you can 
configure that model of phone and configure default phone load for that 
model of phone.

If you already have the phone model available to add then you *may* be 
safe just copying in the tftp loads, configuring that as the loadid, and 
restarting TFTP.

Occasionally there are patches/updates to database fields in the 
installers. If there is any database update and you do not run the 
installer then you will be missing that update.
