[PATCH-for-5.2 v2 1/4] docs/system: Deprecate raspi2/raspi3 machine aliases

Since commit aa35ec2213b ("hw/arm/raspi: Use more specific machine names") the raspi2/raspi3 machines have been renamed as raspi2b/raspi3b. Note, rather than the raspi3b, the raspi3ap introduced in commit 5be94252d34 ("hw/arm/raspi: Add the Raspberry Pi 3 model A+") is a closer match to what QEMU models, but only provides 512 MB of RAM. As more Raspberry Pi 2/3 models are emulated, in order to avoid confusion, deprecate the raspi2/raspi3 machine aliases.
