Use a EFI configuration table to pass the initrd to the core kernel,
instead of per-arch methods. This cleans up the code considerably, and
should make it easier for architectures to get rid of their reliance on
DT for doing EFI boot in the future.

CONFIG_EFI_VARS controls the code that exposes EFI variables via
sysfs entries, which was deprecated before support for non-Intel
architectures was added to EFI. So let's limit its availability
to Intel architectures for the time being, and hopefully remove
it entirely in the not too distant future.
While at it, let's remove the module alias so that the module is
no longer loaded automatically.

Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an
architecture book.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
