docs/hardware is redundant, because it now mostly
contains installation instructions, and docs/install
also contains hardware information. therefore, in
practise, they are both the same kind of information.
merge the two, and streamline everything. a lot of
redundant information has been removed.
docs/install/ has been re-structured in such a way
as to enable more chronological reading, to make it
easier for the average user to install Canoeboot.
This is part of a larger series of changes I'm working
on for the documentation. I'm massively auditing the
entire Canoeboot documentation.

it's what the old dell_internal.md used to be, but with
additional info merged from the old guides that were
removed in the previous revision.

90% of the info on the old pages was fluff, copied and pasted
to all the other pages.
replace them all with a single page. i've already directed the
old pages to the new one, in libreboot.org's httpd

it's a variable now, called err, rather than
a function called err. the variable defines
the name of a function that handles errors.

remove all the redundant information, and merge some of it
between the two articles (grub hardening and grub cbfs guides)

the bucts unbrick instructions are not useful, because
libreboot already provides both bootblocks as duplicates.
we only need these guides to be for teardown, then linking
to the SPI flasher guide

the rossmann video is no longer acceptable, due to his work
promoting FUTO's "source first" license, which is a non-free
license due to restrictions that it places on commercial usage.

the removed notes pertain to feature changes that have been reversed,
since the audit. i once again provide seabios-only images, alongside
seagrub, on targets where seabios and grub are enabled.
i also once again provide multiple keymaps, but only on seagrub.

I do not believe this board supports 16GB as it is limited to 2 DDR2 slots. If anyone can find an example of it supporting 8GB DDR2 DIMMs then perhaps the SKU should be linked to the doc page.
Due to an issue in libgfxinit, Latitude E6400 systems with a 1440 x 900
display panel would have garbled graphics before the OS boots. Make a
note of this issue in releases 20240504 and earlier.

since canoeboot is to be gnu fsdg in spirit, and practise,
it must not openly encourage use of the MIT license, no
matter how much i love that license
in practise, most of cbmk is GPL anyway, and the upstream
projects that it uses are also GPL, so this section is
entirely redundant.
remove it.

i now wish for canoeboot to be its own project, entirely
isolated from libreboot. i myself will still use my own
preferred method: submit to libreboot and patch canoeboot
accordingly.
however, some users may wish to send to work on canoeboot
exclusively. this is permitted, as of now. i will simply
cherry-pick those patches into libreboot, where indicated.

don't promote the other project
why promote a dead project? gnuboot is a dead project.
don't un-dead it by promoting it. just let it be dead.
afterall, why promote something inferior that i've already
replaced? canoeboot is inferior to libreboot, but it is *far*
superior to gnuboot.
as stated elsewhere: i refuse to continue promoting garbage.
