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 Libreboot.
This is part of a larger series of changes I'm working
on for the documentation. I'm massively auditing the
entire Libreboot 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)

a lot of the instructions are really old
make it relevant to the way libreboot currently works
some legacy information has been removed, pertaining to
libreboot 20230625 which is oldstable; 20240612 is the
current stable release, so the 20230625 information no
longer needs to be written here.

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

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.
