docs: deleting docs because they are obsolete
the docs in /docs folder are pretty much obsolete and in a not very friendly format (latex, that requires to be compiled), leaving them there only causes confusion. LEDE documentation's place is the wiki, or the site. Signed-off-by: Alberto Bursi <alberto.bursi@outlook.it>

-Because OpenWrt uses its own init script system, all init scripts must be installed
-as \texttt{/etc/init.d/\textit{name}} use \texttt{/etc/rc.common} as a wrapper.
-
-Example: \texttt{/etc/init.d/httpd}
-
-\begin{Verbatim}
-#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
-# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
-
-START=50
-start() {
- [ -d /www ] && httpd -p 80 -h /www -r OpenWrt
-}
-
-stop() {
- killall httpd
-}
-\end{Verbatim}
-
-as you can see, the script does not actually parse the command line arguments itself.
-This is done by the wrapper script \texttt{/etc/rc.common}.
-
-\texttt{start()} and \texttt{stop()} are the basic functions, which almost any init
-script should provide. \texttt{start()} is called when the user runs \texttt{/etc/init.d/httpd start}
-or (if the script is enabled and does not override this behavior) at system boot time.
-
-Enabling and disabling init scripts is done by running \texttt{/etc/init.d/\textit{name} enable}
-or \texttt{/etc/init.d/\textit{name} disable}. This creates or removes symbolic links to the
-init script in \texttt{/etc/rc.d}, which is processed by \texttt{/etc/init.d/rcS} at boot time.
-
-The order in which these scripts are run is defined in the variable \texttt{START} in the init
-script. Changing it requires running \texttt{/etc/init.d/\textit{name} enable} again.
-
-You can also override these standard init script functions:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item \texttt{boot()} \\
- Commands to be run at boot time. Defaults to \texttt{start()}
-
- \item \texttt{restart()} \\
- Restart your service. Defaults to \texttt{stop(); start()}
-
- \item \texttt{reload()} \\
- Reload the configuration files for your service. Defaults to \texttt{restart()}
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-You can also add custom commands by creating the appropriate functions and referencing them
-in the \texttt{EXTRA\_COMMANDS} variable. Helptext is added in \texttt{EXTRA\_HELP}.
-
-Example:
-
-\begin{Verbatim}
-status() {
- # print the status info
-}
-
-EXTRA_COMMANDS="status"
-EXTRA_HELP=" status Print the status of the service"
-\end{Verbatim}
