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
The U-Boot documentation is in the "uboot" directory, but the hardware
index page links to a nonexistent "u-boot". Fix the typo.

Replace the placeholder "U-Boot instructions" page with initial
documentation about the U-Boot payload. Move the warnings in the
hardware index to this document, but keep a small warning with a link.
This is light on installation instructions compared to what's there on
GRUB, since U-Boot's UEFI support means generic installer images should
work and at that point I think it becomes distro developers' job. But
the added links should be enough as a good start otherwise.
Also add a section for known issues that people might want to know.
Not sure about opening lbmk issues for those, because they're mostly
long-standing upstream things and I'm not really as invested in the
issue tracker.

Add initial documentation about flashing Libreboot on supported ChromeOS
devices. Link the Chromebooks in the hardware index to it. I only have
tried firmware work on gru-kevin, so there is an implicit focus on that,
but most others should be similar.
The one exception is gru-bob, as it is new enough to support Closed Case
Debugging which can be used to disable write-protect and flash the
firmware externally. Provide links to the ChromiumOS docs for that.
Although not supported on Libreboot, x86 Chromebooks still carry the
curse that is unreadable non-redistributable Intel ME firmware, so
provide a warning against flashing x86 images without it just in case.

Add an example qemu-system invocation for the qemu_x86_12mb board's
U-Boot payload. List the QEMU arm64 board in the supported hardware page
and an example invocation for that as well.
