docs/user: Remove outdated 'Quick Start' section

Browse source 
The 'Quick Start' section of the userspace emulator documentation is
very old and outdated. In particular:
 - it suggests running x86-on-x86 emulation, which is the least
   interesting possible use case
 - it recommends that users download tarballs of guest binaries
   from the QEMU web page which we no longer provide there

There's nothing salvageable here; delete it all.

Linux User space emulator
-------------------------
Quick Start
~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable
itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it.
- On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native
libraries::
qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls
``-L /`` tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a
``/`` prefix.
- Since QEMU is also a linux process, you can launch QEMU with QEMU
(NOTE: you can only do that if you compiled QEMU from the sources)::
qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls
- On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
(``qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz`` on the QEMU web page). Ensure that
``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` is not set::
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Then you can launch the precompiled ``ls`` x86 executable::
qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls
You can look at ``scripts/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh`` so that QEMU is
automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to launch x86
executables. It requires the ``binfmt_misc`` module in the Linux
kernel.
- The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things
such as::
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 \
/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
Wine launch
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Ensure that you have a working QEMU with the x86 glibc distribution
(see previous section). In order to verify it, you must be able to
do::
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
- Download the binary x86 Wine install (``qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz``
on the QEMU web page).
- Configure Wine on your account. Look at the provided script
``/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/wine-conf.sh``. Your previous
``${HOME}/.wine`` directory is saved to ``${HOME}/.wine.org``.
- Then you can try the example ``putty.exe``::
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/bin/wine \
/usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/c/Program\ Files/putty.exe
