Add note to UPDATING for ino64 to follow the standard upgrade process

Browse Source 
The existing upgrade process documented in UPDATING is both necessary

shortcut of installing both kernel + world before a single reboot has
been possible for quite some time, and several developers and users
were surprised by fallout from ino64.  Add an explicit entry pointing
out that the full process must be followed.
