Documentation on how to run Linux on the amigaone, pegasos2 and
sam460ex machines is currently buried in the depths of the qemu-devel
mailing list and in the source code. Let's collect the information in
the QEMU handbook for a one stop solution.

Set the TIR default value with the SMT thread index, and place some
standard limits on SMT configurations. Now powernv is able to boot
skiboot and Linux with a SMT topology, including booting a KVM guest.
There are several SPRs and other features (e.g., broadcast msgsnd)
that are not implemented, but not used by OPAL or Linux and can be
added incrementally.

Allows e500 boards to have their root file system reside on flash using
only builtin devices located in the eLBC memory region.
Note that the flash memory area is only created when a -pflash argument is
given, and that the size is determined by the given file. The idea is to
put users into control.

The documentation suggests that there is a qemu-system-ppc32 binary
while the 32 bit version is actually just named qemu-system-ppc. Settle
on qemu-system-ppc64 which also works for 32 bit machines and causes
less clutter in the documentation.

The only change is that now SLOF can also boot big endian zImage
but kernel-addr=0 is still required.

The alternative small firmware needs a few words of what it can and
absolutely cannot do; this adds those words.

This also fixes a small skiboot/skiroot typo and removes the links to
the specific POWER8 and POWER9 images since the firmware images can be
used to run all machines.

In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").
The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).
This commit fixes various places in the manual which were
using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text)
were intended, and covers those files where only one or two
instances of these errors were made.
