Documentation: Remove confusing xyz0 naming convention for Lenovo devices
Replace xx30 with Ivy_Bridge and xx20 with Sandy_Bridge. Also add a note that the Ivy_Bridge tutorial doesn't covert T430s and T431s.

-## Installation instructions
-* Update the EC firmware, as there's no support for EC updates in coreboot.
-* Do **NOT** accidently swap pins or power on the board while a SPI flasher
- is connected. It will permanently brick your device.
-* It's recommended to only flash the BIOS region. In that case you don't
- need to extract blobs from vendor firmware.
- If you want to flash the whole chip, you need blobs when building
- coreboot.
-* The *Flash layout* shows that by default 7MiB of space are available for
- the use with coreboot.
-* In that case you only want to use a part of the BIOS region that must not
- exceed 4MiB in size, which means CONFIG_CBFS_SIZE must be smaller than 4MiB.
-* ROM chip size should be set to 12MiB.
-
-```eval_rst
-Please also have a look at :doc:`../../flash_tutorial/index`.
-```
-
-## Splitting the coreboot.rom
-
-To split the coreboot.rom into two images (one for the 8MiB and one for the
-4 MiB flash IC), run the following commands:
-
-```bash
-dd of=top.rom bs=1M if=build/coreboot.rom skip=8
-dd of=bottom.rom bs=1M if=build/coreboot.rom count=8
-```
-
-That gives one ROM for each flash IC, where *top.rom* is the upper part of the
-flash image, that resides on the 4 MiB flash and *bottom.rom* is the lower part
-of the flash image, that resides on the 8 MiB flash.
-
-## Dumping a full ROM
-
-If you flash externally you need to read both flash chips to get two images
-(one for the 8MiB and one for the 4 MiB flash IC), and then run the following
-command to concatenate the files:
-
-```bash
-cat bottom.rom top.rom > firmware.rom
-```
-
-## Flash layout
-There's one 8MiB and one 4 MiB flash which contains IFD, GBE, ME and
-BIOS region. These two flash ICs appear as a single 12MiB when flashing
-internally.
-On Lenovo's UEFI the EC firmware update is placed at the start of the BIOS
-region. The update is then written into the EC once.
