doc: updated What is ACRN introduction
* Update and simplify our What is ACRN document. * Removed SDC disussion and out-of-date best known configuration descriptions and scenario block diagrams * Removed I/O Mediator discussion from "What is ACRN" and move referenced label to content in the HLD overview (that was duplicated in "What is ACRN") * Updated images for scenarios and removed obsolete images * Add references to new overview docs and GSG * Add general description of VMs in example scenarios Signed-off-by: David B.
