d994cc5449 docs/system: document an example booting the versatilepb machine
There is a bit more out there including Aurelien's excellent write up
and older Debian images here:

  https://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php
  https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/

However the web is transitory and git is forever so lets add something
to the fine manual.

6fe6d6c9a9 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.

c11a8e890c 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extremely out of date and no longer accurate, since AFAICT there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.
