the instructions were a bit crap, for example it wasn't
clear that you can get the firmawre pre-compiled in libreboot
releases. adapt it accordingly.

i was linking to the old safety.md article, which
then linked to the inject guide, but the safety
article is now obsolete, because i implemented a
better regime than what was described there. so,
i've updated all links to safety.md, replacing them
with ivy_has_internal.md

the removed info is a relic, from before all information was
centralised in docs/install/spi.md
remove it, because it is extremely confusing for new readers
At least one Chromebook (gru-kevin) has GD25LQ64C [1], which is a 1.8V
8MB SPI NOR flash chip. Although it can be flashed internally, it has to
be flashed externally when a broken image is flashed. I have been using
an unmodified bad CH341A with a 1.8V adapter which works fine so far.
Try to replace mentions of 3.3V with either nondescript terms like
"power" or "VCC", or both 1.8V and 3.3V, except where it's specifically
about 3.3V. Add warnings to check the part number and datasheet for the
rated supply voltage for the chips, and to make sure to match the
flashing hardware's supply to that.

mistakes made during osbwww->lbmk merge have been corrected
mostly a few search/replace errors, and deleted pages that have since
been restored, or pages that were incorrectly scrubbed are now full; for
example, pages that said there are no releases yet (from osboot) have
been replaced with the version from libreboot that links to release archives,
which *do* exist in libreboot
i generally fixed all other minor issues with paragraphs that i found, where
the paragraphs made sense in osboot.org but did not so on libreboot.org
this is all of my fixes, after auditing the recent merge. no point splitting
them up. just patch it up and go!
this is imported from osbwww, based on a change shmalebx9 made.
this patch is a rebase/cherry-pick from osbwww performed by leah rowe,
based off of shmalebx9's work
