installation/guides/arm-devices/platforms: mention RPi5 support

also remove the usb boot section, as it should not be necessary as of
void-linux/void-mklive#361 because partition UUIDs are now used instead
of device paths.

### USB mass storage boot on Raspberry Pi 4
### Raspberry Pi 5 Kernel

To boot an RPi 4 from a USB mass storage device, the [install process is the
same](./index.md), but after installation, the USB drive needs to be mounted on
the host and the `root=` argument in `/boot/cmdline.txt` needs to be changed to,
for example, `root=/dev/sda2`.
The `rpi5-kernel` and `rpi5-kernel-headers` packages provide a kernel and
headers optimized for the Raspberry Pi 5 with 16KB pages. To switch from the
generic `rpi-kernel`, install `rpi5-kernel`. This will remove `rpi-kernel` and
replace it with `rpi5-kernel`.
