Vinícius Ferrão 79cddca53e docs(riscv64): document Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 support
The guides said riscv64 covered EL10 only, and the riscv64 page listed
Ubuntu as unsupported. Both support matrices now carry the architecture for
Ubuntu, and the riscv64 page describes the Ubuntu paths: the loader copycd
builds from the media, the installer needing none of the accommodations
EL10 requires, the ports archive the packages come from, and a management
node running on riscv64. The 26.04 media need the RVA23 profile, which is
recorded as a limitation.
