docs/system: Split target-arm.rst into sub-documents Currently the documentation for Arm system emulator targets is in a single target-arm.rst. This describes only some of the boards and often in a fairly abbreviated fashion. Restructure it so that each board has its own documentation file in the docs/system/arm/ subdirectory. This will hopefully encourage us to write board documentation that describes the board in detail, rather than a few brief paragraphs in a single long page. The table of contents should also help users to find the board they care about faster. Once the structure is in place we'll be able to move microvm.rst from the top-level docs/ directory. All the text from the old page is retained, except for the final paragraph ("A Linux 2.6 test image is available on the QEMU web site. More information is available in the QEMU mailing-list archive."), which is deleted. The git history shows this was originally added in reference to the integratorcp board (at that time the only Arm board that was supported), and has subsequently gradually been further and further separated from the integratorcp documentation by the insertion of other board documentation sections. It's extremely out of date and no longer accurate, since AFAICT there isn't an integratorcp kernel on the website any more; so better deleted than retained.

Arm Realview boards (``realview-eb``, ``realview-eb-mpcore``, ``realview-pb-a8``, ``realview-pbx-a9``)

docs: Be consistent about capitalization of 'Arm' The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms. It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's easy enough to make docs/ consistent. Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

the EB, PB-A8 and PBX-A9. Due to interactions with the bootloader, only
certain Linux kernel configurations work out of the box on these boards.
Kernels for the PB-A8 board should have CONFIG_REALVIEW_HIGH_PHYS_OFFSET
enabled in the kernel, and expect 512M RAM. Kernels for The PBX-A9 board
should have CONFIG_SPARSEMEM enabled, CONFIG_REALVIEW_HIGH_PHYS_OFFSET
disabled and expect 1024M RAM.
The following devices are emulated:
- ARM926E, ARM1136, ARM11MPCore, Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9 MPCore CPU
