o Remove 4.X information, this includes notes and sections.
o Update documentation to reflect 5.X and 6.X.
o In some areas, try to make the new content version agnostic.
o Skip areas stating "5.[0-5] and later" as it's relevant - we
need a better way to handle these.
For several items, I checked the NOTES files, manual pages,
CVS history, etc.

After the 5.4 layout changes it makes no sense to keep this in a

- Note that the miniinst ISO is only available for versions prior to 5.4. (1)
- Limit a paragraph to 4.X only (not applicable to 5.X after the layout changes).

- Add a missing ; to an entity

Also expand some contractions of the same, discovered while I was
hunting down all of the above.
This commit can very likely be ignored by translation teams, as I doubt
that this problem transcends languages.
