All legacy network transports have been removed. Vector transports
provide the same capabilities with significantly higher network
throughput. There is no reason to keep the legacy network transport
infrastructure anymore. Remove it to reduce the maintenance burden.

These legacy network transports were marked as obsolete in commit
40814b98a570 ("um: Mark non-vector net transports as obsolete").
More than five years have passed since then. Remove these network
transports to reduce the maintenance burden.

We just removed the driver, but forgot the row in the
documentation table mentioning it. Remove that.

It is not obvious from the documentation that using the "port" channel
for the console requires telnetd to be installed (see port_connection()
in arch/um/drivers/port_user.c). Mention this, and the fact that UML
will not boot until a client connects.

The new HowTo migrates the portions of the old howto which
are still relevant to a new document, updates them to linux 5.x
and adds documentation for vector transports and other new
features.

Despite being an old document, it contains lots of information
that could still be useful.
The document has a nice style with makes easy to convert to
ReST. So, let's convert it to ReST.
This patch does:
- Use proper markups for titles;
- Mark and proper indent literal blocks;
- don't use an 'o' character for lists;
- other minor changes required for the doc to be parsed.

Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the
grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as
a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation
to match that.
Fixes: ed16648eb5b8 ("Move kvm, uml, and lguest subdirectories under a common "virtual" directory, I.E:")
