Update the documentation to reflect the migration of the following
architectures to the centralized syscall table format:
arc, arm64, csky, hexagon, loongarch, nios2, openrisc, riscv
As of commit 3db80c999d ("riscv: convert to generic syscall table"),
these architectures no longer rely on include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.
Instead, syscall table headers (syscall_table_{32,64}.h) are generated by
scripts/syscalltbl.sh based on entries in scripts/syscall.tbl, with ABIs
specified in arch/*/kernel/Makefile.syscalls.
For the convenience of developers working with older kernel versions, the
original documentation is fully retained, with new sections added to
cover the scripts/syscall.tbl approach.
Verified with `make htmldocs`.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
