[Bug 1590062] Re: [meta] documentation update for xenial

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

To be honest installer guide should say Ubuntu Server throughout. Whilst
it is possible to install Ubuntu Desktop product using d-i that is not
the default for neither d-i on ubuntu, nor ubuntu desktop (uses ubiquity
instead). Very good point.

Title:
  [meta] documentation update for xenial

Status in installation-guide package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in installation-guide source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  There are a number of updates needed for the installation guide for >= xenial
   - Ubuntu is described as a desktop operating system - but that's odd text for architectures
     where desktop is not appropriate (e.g. s390x)
   - There is no ISO for arm64 (yet) - but the installation guide strongly recommends it (xenial-specific)
   - The only ARM firmware described is U-Boot - but we also support UEFI there.
   - Cavium ThunderX is a newly supported arm64 platform - let's mention it.
   - Various software versions are out of date (Linux, GNOME, brltty).

  [Test Case]
  Text changes get rendered :)

  [Regression Risk]
  Minor; it is documentation.
