manuals: remove tab characters

Browse Source 
As reported by "make sphinx-lint"

Tabs are even removed in Makefile examples,
as Sphinx turns them to spaces anyway in the generated output.

As far as bootloaders are concerned, :term:`Initramfs` and "initrd"

This kind of mechanism is typically used for two reasons:
- For booting the same kernel binary on multiple systems requiring
different device drivers. The :term:`Initramfs` image is then customized
for each type of system, to include the specific kernel modules

necessary to access the final root filesystem. This technique

- For booting faster. As the root filesystem is extracted into RAM,
accessing the first user-space applications is very fast, compared
to having to initialize a block device, to access multiple blocks
from it, and to go through a filesystem having its own overhead.
For example, this allows to display a splashscreen very early,
and to later take care of mounting the final root filesystem and
