Ubuntu: Update installer links
...
I've removed mentions of 64-bit when all images are 64-bit. I've
changed "Live" to "Desktop" and "alternate" to "server" to match the
image names. I have put the release names in parentheses and quotes. I
updated the version in 16.04 to 16.04.5. I update 17.10 to
old-releases.

Debian & Ubuntu: Harmonize the 64-bit text
...
On all versions, this had a mistake, where "computer" was mentioned
twice in a row. On Debian, 64-bit was "preferred"; compared to Ubuntu,
this seemed to be a softening of it from a requirement (since it is in
the System Requirements) section. It's also not really independent of
the image; if you're going to use an amd64 Live CD, it is required. But
the point of mentioning it is to discourage 32-bit. I have changed the
wording to match the ZFS on Linux FAQ and to link to that entry.

Bring back old HOWTOs
...
As discussed on the mailing list, the old HOWTOs can be useful for
troubleshooting existing installs.
This reverts commit c537bcf251f140e22166913e5dd6a0c0d407d9b2.

Ubuntu: Update for 18.04 release
...
Now that 18.04 has been released, the instructions for it no longer need
a disclaimer. As 18.04 is the latest release, we can drop 17.10. As
18.04 is the latest LTS, we can drop 16.04.

Ubuntu: Fix a symlink path
...
ScottHaney reported in issue #6258 that GRUB had complaints about
/dev/luks1, and using an absolute path for the symlink fixed that.
I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary, but I don't see how the
absolute path is any worse.

Like 16.10 (and the comment in the 16.04 code), this approach should use
"initramfs", not "keyscript=/bin/cat".
