Missing Image Raspberry Pi 3. update v1.54.0

[theCalcaholic]

I don't intend to readd support for the RPi3 unless this gets a ton of requests, because a) it's an 8 year old board and b) has not been well recommended for NCP for many years (due to its lack of performance).

But if you want to run NCP on a RPi3, you can always install an older image and update from there.

I know that you can download armbian base and install everything via the script but for the end user it would be better to have (in my opinion) a last image (EOL) for raspebbies other than 4 and 5 and a writing on the chagelog saying which will no longer be compiled in Github releases.

The main reason, why I dropped support for building RPi3 images, is, that as of v1.54.0 all images (including RPi 4&5) are based on Armbian and there is no upstream support for the RPi3

Armbian is still working on RPi 3A+,3B, 3B+.(tested on Feb 13, 2024 Jammy Relase)

3B+ support x64 too.

There is no board config for it available in https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/config/boards

Maybe it's community maintained, but nothing we can easily build off.

Allthough, according to the documentation the rpi4 image is supposed to work on RPi 3 - if it doesn't, there's not much I can do about it, though.
