Standard boot has been in place for a while now. Quite a few problems have been found and fixed. It seems like a good time to mark the script-based approach as deprecated and encourage people to use standard boot.
Update the DISTRO_DEFAULTS Kconfig to encourage people to move to standard boot, which is able to boot Linux distributions automatically.
Add a short migration guide to make this easier.

Changes in v2:
- Mention in the DISTRO_DEFAULTS option that it is script-based
- Expand and rewrite the commit message
- Use the word 'Mark' instead of 'Make' to improve the English
