docs: Remove redundant documentation about combined payload use case

Browse Source 
U-Boot now supports loading Linux kernel image via network and storage
media. Thus, we don't need to use a combined payload containing both
U-Boot & Linux kernel image to boot Linux from U-Boot prompt.

Remove the old documentation.

**U-Boot & Linux Kernel as a single payload**
A single monolithic image containing both U-Boot & Linux can also be used if
network boot setup is not available.
1. Create a temporary image with u-boot-dtb.bin as the first payload. The
command-line example here assumes that U-Boot was compiled using
sifive_fu540_defconfig configuration.
```
dd if=~/workspace/u-boot-riscv/u-boot-dtb.bin of=/tmp/temp.bin bs=1M
```
2. Append the Linux Kernel image.
```
dd if=<linux_build_directory>/arch/riscv/boot/Image of=/tmp/temp.bin bs=1M seek=4
```
3. Compile OpenSBI with temp.bin (generated in step 2) as payload.
```
make PLATFORM=sifive/fu540 FW_PAYLOAD_PATH=/tmp/temp.bin
or
(For U-Boot which follows Linux v5.2 (or higher) DT bindings)
make PLATFORM=sifive/fu540 FW_PAYLOAD_PATH=/tmp/temp.bin
```
