Remove references to bootloadHID flashing page in keyboard readmes #23942

Closed fauxpark closed 2 weeks ago

fauxpark commented 2 weeks ago

Description

To avoid careless copypasting as has happened for some of the Keychron boards...

And removed the page outright since most of the information contained there is either outdated or more or less duplicated at /flashing under the bootloadHID section:

Homebrew and MSYS2 have both provided packages for bootloadHID for a long time now and the respective install scripts will install them
One or two Linux distros also have a package which should be installed, otherwise the script should fall back to attempting to compile and "install" the bootloadHID binary automatically
