docs-wide: remove CROPS references

The CROPS[1] project hasn't been updated in two years which makes it
incompatible with our current system requirements.

Remove references to CROPS from the documentation, and in most cases
replace them by mentioning that a container can be used (setup for it
left to the user).

Note that the project is working on reference containers[2] which may
replace this at some point (not confirmed).
