docs/about: Change notes on x86 machine type deprecation into a general one

Browse Source 
We now have a general note about versioned machine types getting
deprecated and removed at the beginning of the deprecated.rst file,
so we should also have a general note about this in removed-features.rst
(which will also apply to versioned non-x86 machine types) instead of
listing individual old machine types in the document.

These old machine types are quite neglected nowadays and thus might have
various pitfalls with regards to live migration. Use a newer machine type
