[HARDWARE] Add filter setting for selecting alternate parts.

[markjonharman]

Description

To help mitigate BOM changes over time and components going out of stock I have provided a list of filter settings that hopefully assist someone with finding alternate components when necessary.

What does this PR do?

Updates the hardware parts list documentation.

Why is this change needed?

BOM items will go out of stock periodically overtime, to avoid requiring constant updating or maintenance, attempt to provide a way for the user to make an informed choice by themselves.
