This patch modifies the instructions that lead users to modify predefined
scenario XMLs under ``misc/config_tools/data`` which is not a preferred
way. It is recommended to make and edit a local copy, instead.
Also fixes a few references to ``misc/vm_configs`` which has been moved.
v2:
* fix typos in paths
* explain on the candidate values of ``port_base`` and ``irq`` fields

Starting from v2.4, ACRN configuration uses solely XML files to store
configuration data and customized scripts to manipulate
configurations. This patch updates the HLD of compile-time configuration to
reflect this properly.
As the refinement to the configuration toolset itself is still ongoing,
this patch only adds brief introduction to the key generated files involved
in ACRN configuration. More details will be added after the refinement
completes.

While we hoped to make the headings consistent over time while doing
other edits, we should instead just make the squirrels happy and do them
all at once or they'll likely never be made consistent.
A python script was used to find the headings, and then a call to
https://pypi.org/project/titlecase to transform the title. A visual
inspection was used to tweak a few unexpected resulting titles.

With the new ACRN configuration architecture, we no longer use Kconfig
files. Remove the Kconfig option documentation scripting (genrest.py)
Python dependencies, and Makefile commands, and change references in the
documentation from the Kconfig option (such as
:option:`CONFIG_MEM_LOGLEVEL`) to the new schema definition-based option
documentation (:option:`hv.DEBUG_OPTION.MEM_LOGLEVEL`).

Links to files in the GitHub repo's master branch should be to the files
within the branch being generated. For example, in the v2.1
documentation, links should be to the v2.1 branch contents. (Previously
links were being made to the master branch in all our archived content.)
This creates a problem when we want to remove an obsolete file in the
master branch but can't because older documentaiton incorrectly depends
on it.
This new extension defines a :acrn_file: and :acrn_raw: role that will
create links to the given file within the current commit branch.
This PR also replaces docs with hard-coded links to files in the master
branch with uses of these new roles to create links to files.
