docs: powerpc: Add missing documentation reference

The documentation pages for 'elfnote' and 'ultravisor'
are not included in the powerpc documentation index, this
generates Sphinx warnings:

WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

Additionally, when one includes these missing doc pages,
more Sphinx warnings appear. Unused footnote references,
syntax highlighting and table of content ordering has
been adjusted.

In an ultravisor-enabled system, some machine resources are now controlled
by the ultravisor. If the kernel is not ultravisor-capable, but it ends up
being run on a machine with ultravisor, the kernel will probably crash
trying to access ultravisor resources. For instance, it may crash in early
boot trying to set the partition table entry 0.
