Ivshmem hv-land solution emulates the ivshmem device in hypervisor
and the shared memory is reserved in the hypervisor's memory space.
And it can provide inter-vm communication for both pre-launched and
post-launched VMs.
This patch introduces the ivshmem hv-land solution including what
ivshmem hv-land is and how to use it.

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.

Replace white/black master/slave terms with alternatives. We're not
changing "master" when used in the context of GitHub branches. GitHub
advises they have a plan to help this transition. In the text body we
rever to the "master" branch as the "main" branch, but leave any urls or
code-block commands still using "master".

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.

Update the "Run Kata Containers on a Service VM" tutorial to use ACRN v2.0. It
also uses Ubuntu 20.04 as the baseline instead of Ubuntu 18.04. The Kata
Containers installation method is different as there are no pre-built binaries
for Ubuntu 20.04 yet, so using the 'kata-deploy' approach instead which is more
generic.
Changed link to slideshare.net for the referenced TCM presentation.
