ACRN 2.1 supports two virtual boot modes, deprivilege boot mode and
direct boot mode. The deprivilege boot mode’s main purpose is to support
booting Clear Linux Service VM with UEFI service support, but this
brings scalability problems when porting ACRN to new Intel platforms.
For the 2.2 release, deprivilege mode is removed, and only direct boot
is supported, and with this we've removed support for Clear Linux as the
service VM, which impacts over 50 ACRN documents. This PR removes
documents we don't intend to update, and fixes broken links that would
occur from references to these deleted docs.

ACRN assumes certain state for the PCI devices w.r.t. resources assigned to them
before the platform BIOS hands control over to itself.
When the same BIOS is used with native OS boot, there should not be a need for
native kernel to re-program device BARs or bridge windows for bridge devices.

Stray non-ASCII characters can creep in when pasting from Word or Google
Docs, particularly for "smart" single and double quotes and non-breaking
spaces. Change these to their ASCII equivalents. Also fixed some very
long lines of text to wrap at 80-ish characters.

Adds a new section in reference documentation that lists the
requirements from ACRN upon a processor to boot and function
successfully.
This patch is a starting point and can expect to add a lot
more requirements that would be a translation of

Modify the Zephyr project script for creating documentation from Kconfig
files to generate the hypervisor option configuration docs. While Zephyr
uses a modified version of kconfiglib, we can use the standard
kconfiglib from Pypi (added to the requirements.txt file).
