Vinícius Ferrão 6eba1277fe docs(riscv64): document EL10 riscv64 compute node support
Add the riscv64 page to the cluster management guide (UEFI + grub2 boot
path, discovery through mknb's grub2 network configurations, stateful and
stateless provisioning, the dependency picture for a management node on
riscv64, limitations), list riscv64 in the node object attributes and in
the support matrices, add the architecture to the cross-build page for
stateless images, extend the grub2 install guide (and fix its swapped
x86_64/aarch64 file names), the uninstall package lists, the DHCP backend
validation matrix and the mknb/genimage man pages, and carry the riscv64
schema values into the generated nodetype, osimage, noderes, node and
group references.

* Open Source
Eclipse Public License. Support contracts are also available, contact IBM.
* Supports Multiple Operating Systems
RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux, Oracle Linux, Windows, Esxi, RHEV, and more!
* Support Multiple Hardware
IBM Power, IBM Power LE, x86_64, aarch64 (alpha support), riscv64 (EL10, UEFI + grub2)
* Support Multiple Virtualization Infrastructures
IBM PowerKVM, KVM, IBM zVM, ESXI, XEN
* Support Multiple Installation Options
Diskful (Install to Hard Disk), Diskless (Runs in memory), Cloning
* Built in Automatic discovery
No need to power on one machine at a time for discovery. Nodes that fail can be replaced and back in action simply by powering the new one on.
* RestFUL API
Provides a Rest API interface for the third-party software to integrate with
