All users should be running 2.x releases so remove the legacy details
since it's arguably confusing to have two sets of details.
Reworked the components listed in the main README so that rather than
being sorted alphabetically, they are now sorted in semi-order of
importance and split into two tables to make the point more clearly.

Create a containerd installation guide and a new `kata-manager` script
for 2.0 that automated the steps outlined in the guide.
Also cleaned up and improved the installation documentation in various
ways, the most significant being:
- Added legacy install link for 1.x installs.
- Official packages section:
- Removed "Contact" column (since it was empty!)
- Reworded "Versions" column to clarify the versions are a minimum
(to reduce maintenance burden).
- Add a column to show which installation methods receive automatic updates.
- Modified order of installation options in table and document to
de-emphasise automatic installation and promote official packages
and snap more.
- Removed sections no longer relevant for 2.0.
Fixes: #738.

We have removed cli support and that means dockder support is dropped
for now. Also it doesn't make sense to have so many duplications on each
distribution as we can simply refer to the official docker guide on how
to install docker.

Let's update the openSUSE Installation Guide to reflect the current
information on how to install kata packages provided by the distro
itself.
The official packages are present on Leap 15.2 and Tumbleweed, and can
be just installed. Leap 15.1 is slightly different, as the .repo file
has to be added before the packages can be installed.
Leap 15.0 has been removed as it already reached its EOL.

Although the community packages are present for RHEL, everything about
them is extremely unsupported on the Red Hat side.
Knowing this, we'd be better to simply not mentioned those and, if users
really want to try kata-containers on RHEL, they can simply follow the
CentOS installation guide.
In the future, if the Fedora packages make their way to RHEL, we can add
the information here. However, if we're recommending something
unsupported we'd be better recommending kata-deploy instead.

Let's update the Fedora Installation Guide to reflect the current
information on how to install kata packages provided by the distro
itself.
These are official packages and we, as Fedora members, recommend using
kata-containers on Fedora 32 and onwards, as from this version
everything works out-of-the-box. Also, Fedora 31 will reach its EOL as
soon as Fedora 33 is out, which should happen on October.

Let's update the CentOS Installation Guide to reflect the current
information on how to install kata packages provided by the
Virtualiation Special Interest Group.
These are not official CentOS packages, as those are not coming from Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. These are the same packages we have on Fedora and
we have decided to keep them up-to-date and sync'ed on both Fedora and
CentOS, so people can give Kata Containers a try also on CentOS.
The nature of these packages makes me think that those are "as official
as they can be", so that's the reason I've decided to add the
instructions to the "official" table.
Together with the change in the Installation Guide, let's also update
the README and reflect the fact we **strongly recommend** using CentOS
8, with the packages provided by the Virtualization Special Interest
Group, instead of using the CentOS 7 with packages built on OBS.
