Subject: block: remove refs to XD disks from documentation
d1a6f4f19728d6 ("block: delete super ancient PC-XT driver for 1980's
hardware") deleted the XD disk driver, but there are still a few
references to it in the documentation directory. Delete the remnants and
thus also free up the major block device 13 for reuse.
