The dtb= parameter is no longer the primary mechanism for providing a
devicetree to the kernel. Now either firmware or the boot selector (ex.
Grub) should provide the devicetree and dtb= should only be used for
debug or when using firmware that doesn't understand DT.
Update the EFI stub documentation to reflect the current usage.

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- use proper markups for titles;
- identify literal blocks.
