Docs: Consolidate Concepts in the Bare Metal Overview #583

Description

@iRaindrop

The Bare Metal section, https://www.flatcar.org/docs/latest/installing/bare-metal/, has a minimal overview with several complex subtopics. Each of the subtopics in this node contain a very similar workflow that differ only by platform.

Here is the restructured location for this topic but directory name might change:
deploy/bare-metal/_index.md

Here are the common steps determined by Copilot:

  • Obtain or Prepare Flatcar Artifacts
  • Understand the Boot Flow
  • Provide an Ignition (or Butane) Configuration
  • Configure the Bootloader or Boot Environment
  • Perform the Installation (Optional but Common)
  • Hardware‑Specific Considerations
  • Validate the System After Boot

Document key concepts and tasks that are common to each subtopic in the topic overview. Consider consolidating common procedures into one procedure that works for all the subtopics, but do such tasks cautiously as the what looks like repetition might be critical or valuable in the current context.
