docs: describe the card screen and None

The installer page says what a card system named on a computer does
(Where is the SD card?, Look again, the Card root prompt), that Enter on
None unticks every system and Back keeps the ticks, and that Space
continues outside a list of ticks. KNULLI and ROCKNIX no longer have a
computer default. The first-install page names the card screen.
