docs/system: Move the RISC-V -bios information to removed
QEMU 5.1 changed the behaviour of the default boot for the RISC-V virt and sifive_u machines. This patch moves that change from the deprecated.rst file to the removed-features.rst file and the target-riscv.rst.

-QEMU 4.1 introduced support for the -bios option in QEMU for RISC-V for the
-RISC-V virt machine and sifive_u machine. QEMU 4.1 had no changes to the
-default behaviour to avoid breakages.

-QEMU 5.1 changes the default behaviour from ``-bios none`` to ``-bios default``.

-QEMU 5.1 has three options:
- 1. ``-bios default`` - This is the current default behavior if no -bios option
- is included. This option will load the default OpenSBI firmware automatically.
- The firmware is included with the QEMU release and no user interaction is
- required. All a user needs to do is specify the kernel they want to boot
- with the -kernel option
- 2. ``-bios none`` - QEMU will not automatically load any firmware. It is up
- to the user to load all the images they need.
- 3. ``-bios <file>`` - Tells QEMU to load the specified file as the firmwrae.
