docs/system/target-sparc: Improve the Sparc documentation
Add some words about how to enable or disable boolean features, and remove the note about a Linux kernel being available on the QEMU website (they have been removed long ago already), and the note about NetBSD and OpenBSD still having issues (they should work fine nowadays).
