[Bug 1730322] Re: Add HWE kernel and point release URL for new hardware

[dann frazier]

** Description changed:

+ For some platform we need Ubuntu LTS point release with HWE kernel. It
+ is necessary to mention that so that user can download correct LTS
+ binaries and power up their machine.
+ 
  [Impact]
- The installation guide currently has a static list of supported arm64 server platforms. This is a cumbersome way to store this information as it is constantly changing, and these systems are becoming sufficiently standardized as to not require platform-specific instructions.
+ 
+  * Installation-guide does not mention HWE kernel and point release. User can
+    not find inforamtion in help.ubuntu.com
  
  [Test Case]
- N/A - text change.
  
- [Fix]
- Let's flush the platform-specific content and instead direct users to a more malleable wiki page. 
+  * Describe HWE kernel and point release in help.ubuntu.com
  
  [Regression Potential]
- Uncareful readers maybe confused by the disappearance of their favorite platforms from the list - although they should just follow the wiki.
+ 
+ * This is documentation which introduces lowest risk on regression.
