ref-manual, dev-manual: Scrubbed boot-directdisk and bootimg classes

Browse Source 
These classes have been removed.  The bootimg class was sucked
into the image-live class.  I removed the reference sections to
both classes and fixed the references throughout the manual set
as needed.

The <filename>boot-directdisk</filename> class
creates an image that can be placed directly onto a hard disk using
<filename>dd</filename> and then booted.
The image uses SYSLINUX.

<para>
The end result is a 512 boot sector populated with a
Master Boot Record (MBR) and partition table followed by an MSDOS
FAT16 partition containing SYSLINUX and a Linux kernel completed by
the <filename>ext2</filename> and <filename>ext3</filename>

The <filename>bootimg</filename> class creates a bootable

When you use this class, two things happen:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
A <filename>.hddimg</filename> file is created.
This file is an MSDOS filesystem that contains SYSLINUX,
a kernel, an <filename>initrd</filename>, and a root filesystem
image.
All three of these can be written to hard drives directly and
also booted on a USB flash disks using <filename>dd</filename>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
A CD <filename>.iso</filename> image is created.
When this file is booted, the <filename>initrd</filename>
boots and processes the label selected in SYSLINUX.
Actions based on the label are then performed (e.g. installing
to a hard drive).</para></listitem>
