The ARCnet documentation contains a lot of outdated and irrelevant
information (such as changes in decades-old driver versions and
messages from a former maintainer) and has some writing style issues.
Remove this unnecessary information and improve the writing style. Also
remove links to pages that no longer exist.

While ARCnet is still used in industrial environments, and cards are
still manufactured, it is unlikely anyone is still using it with ISA
and PCMCIA cards. Reduce future maintenance burden by removing all ISA
and PCMCIA ARCnet drivers and documentation related to them. Update
instructions for loading modules and passing parameters to work on
modern kernels and with the com20020_pci driver. Also take the
opportunity to document the rest of the module parameters, correct a
file path in Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst, and change a
reference to /etc/rc.inet1, which no longer exists, to refer to
ifconfig.

ARCnet docs states that inquiries on the subsystem should be emailed to
Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@worldvisions.ca>, for whom has been in CREDITS
since the beginning of kernel git history and her email address is
unreachable (bounce). The subsystem is now maintained by Michael
Grzeschik since c38f6ac74c ("MAINTAINERS: add arcnet and take
maintainership").
In addition, there used to be a dedicated ARCnet mailing list but its
archive at epistolary.org has been shut down. ARCnet discussion nowadays
take place in netdev list. The arcnet.com domain mentioned has become
AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) related Typeform page and
ARCnet info now resides on arcnet.cc (ARCnet Resource Center) instead.
Update contact information.
