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.

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.

ACRN 2.0 introduced Inter-VM communication feature by enabling the ivshmem v1.0 protocol/channel to communication
between VMs. To support the community's application Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), we provide a security hardening
guideline with some pointers to consider when using this channel by userspace application in case of additional security
requirments for Confidentiality, Integrity, or Authenticity.

Using ``.. rst-class:: rst-columns`` wasn't processed correctly because
of an error in the acrn-custom.css file. Fix that, update the
documentation guidelines, and make use of the multi-column display in
documents where the toctree created a long list. Now it will
appear in columns.
Also tweaked the toctree listing to use bold for the first-level items
(making a multi-column display look better, particularly when it has
subsections).
