Documentation: Merge x86-specific boot options doc into kernel-parameters.txt
Documentation/arch/x86/x86_64/boot-options.rst is causing unnecessary
confusion by being a second place where one can put x86 boot options.
Move them into the main one.
Drop removed ones like "acpi=ht", while at it.

-AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization)
-=========================================
-Options relating to AMD SEV, specified via the following format:

- sev=option1[,option2]
-
-The available options are:
-
- debug
- Enable debug messages.
-
- nosnp
- Do not enable SEV-SNP (applies to host/hypervisor only). Setting
