Feedback suggests we add more top-level navigation to the getting
started guides, so let's include a local TOC as well as using the
"numbered-step" style to top-level steps.

From V2.2, we use the iasl tool to compile offline
ACPI binary for pre-launched VMs while building ACRN,
so we need to install the iasl tool in the ACRN
building environment. This doc is to describe how
to install the iasl tool and specify the version of
iasl at the chapter Install build tools and dependencies.

ACRN 2.1 supports two virtual boot modes, deprivilege boot mode and
direct boot mode. The deprivilege boot mode’s main purpose is to support
booting Clear Linux Service VM with UEFI service support, but this
brings scalability problems when porting ACRN to new Intel platforms.
For the 2.2 release, deprivilege mode is removed, and only direct boot
is supported, and with this we've removed support for Clear Linux as the
service VM, which impacts over 50 ACRN documents. This PR removes
documents we don't intend to update, and fixes broken links that would
occur from references to these deleted docs.

Also clear Linux is no longer supported either as SOS or post-launched VM kernel.
- When it mentions clear Linux, mostly replaced by Ubuntu.
- remove all contents re/lated to "UEFI boot".
- remove the term de-privilege mode, and direct mode as well.

PR #3516 was submitted during a documentation reorganization and

Changing the folder structure will cause too many broken links for
external references (from other sites). So, let's put the content back
where it was before the reorg, and instead use the new persona-based
navigation to point to documents in the original locations.
Also, introduce redirects for some documents that no longer exits.

Update the instructions on how to build ACRN on Ubuntu 16.04,
specifically:
* Add 'pkg-config' package
* Upgrade 'binutils' to 2.27
