manual: get rid of the lists of packages
We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
- the non-virtual target packages,
- the virtual target packages,
- the host packages,
- the deprecated features.
Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.
After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.
We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).
