dt: Remove booting-without-of.rst booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale. The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification are now. All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same details documented.

DeviceTree Booting
------------------
Device-tree compatible SH bootloaders are expected to provide the physical
address of the device tree blob in r4. Since legacy bootloaders did not
guarantee any particular initial register state, kernels built to
inter-operate with old bootloaders must either use a builtin DTB or
select a legacy board option (something other than CONFIG_SH_DEVICE_TREE)
that does not use device tree. Support for the latter is being phased out
in favor of device tree.
