docs/user: Remove outdated 'Quick Start' section
The 'Quick Start' section of the userspace emulator documentation is
very old and outdated. In particular:
- it suggests running x86-on-x86 emulation, which is the least
interesting possible use case
- it recommends that users download tarballs of guest binaries
from the QEMU web page which we no longer provide there
There's nothing salvageable here; delete it all.
