docs: Remove old texinfo sources
We can now delete the old .texi files, which we have been keeping in the tree as a parallel set of documentation to the new rST sources. The only remaining use of Texinfo is the autogenerated manuals and HTML documents created from the QAPI JSON doc comments.

-@section Features
-
-QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to
-achieve good emulation speed.
-
-QEMU has two operating modes:
-
-@itemize
-@item Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for
-example a PC), including one or several processors and various
-peripherals. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems
-without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.
-
-@item User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch
-processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
-launch the Wine Windows API emulator (@url{https://www.winehq.org}) or
-to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging.
-
-@end itemize
-
-QEMU has the following features:
-
-@itemize
-@item QEMU can run without a host kernel driver and yet gives acceptable
-performance. It uses dynamic translation to native code for reasonable speed,
-with support for self-modifying code and precise exceptions.
-
-@item It is portable to several operating systems (GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X,
-Windows) and architectures.
-
-@item It performs accurate software emulation of the FPU.
-@end itemize
-
-QEMU user mode emulation has the following features:
-@itemize
-@item Generic Linux system call converter, including most ioctls.
-
-@item clone() emulation using native CPU clone() to use Linux scheduler for threads.
-
-@item Accurate signal handling by remapping host signals to target signals.
-@end itemize
-
-QEMU full system emulation has the following features:
-@itemize
-@item
-QEMU uses a full software MMU for maximum portability.
-
-@item
-QEMU can optionally use an in-kernel accelerator, like kvm. The accelerators
-execute most of the guest code natively, while
-continuing to emulate the rest of the machine.
-
-@item
-Various hardware devices can be emulated and in some cases, host
-devices (e.g. serial and parallel ports, USB, drives) can be used
-transparently by the guest Operating System. Host device passthrough
-can be used for talking to external physical peripherals (e.g. a
-webcam, modem or tape drive).
-
-@item
-Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support. Currently, an in-kernel
-accelerator is required to use more than one host CPU for emulation.

-QEMU is a generic emulator and it emulates many machines. Most of the
-options are similar for all machines. Specific information about the
-various targets are mentioned in the following sections.
