Masahiro Yamada e873fb9482 kbuild: doc: remove the description about shipped files
The use of shipped files is discouraged in the upstream kernel these
days. [1]

Downstream Makefiles have the freedom to use shipped files or other
options to handle binaries, but this should not be advertised in the
upstream document.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
