docs: fix broken links; correct Dasharo-board flashing guidance; drop -maximized for non-ME boards

[tlaurion]

Fixes #232
Fixes #241

This PR (a) repairs 7 verified-broken external links, (b) corrects the flashing guidance on the NovaCustom/NitroPad/MSI board pages, and (c) renames the 7 boards that are not actually ME-neutered so they no longer carry the misleading "-maximized" suffix.

Broken links (#232)

• Binarly LogoFAIL article (About/Heads-threat-model.md) -> https://www.binarly.io/reports/logofail
• coreboot KGPE-D16 (About/Heads-threat-model.md) -> https://15h.org/index.php/ASUS_KGPE-D16
• coreboot Intel FSP (T440p-maximized.md) -> https://doc.coreboot.org/soc/intel/fsp/index.html
• Purism Librem Key LUKS decryption (About/Keys.md) -> https://docs.puri.sm/Hardware/acc/lk/luks.html
• Purism internal flashing commands (Flashing-Guides/index.md) -> https://docs.puri.sm/Software/PureBoot/Maintenance/Upgrade.html
• heads x230 example config (Development/make-details.md) -> boards/EOL_x230-maximized/EOL_x230-maximized.config

Dasharo-board flashing guidance

NovaCustom (v540tu, v560tu, nv4x) and NitroPad (ns50) boards ship pre-flashed from NovaCustom/Nitrokey. External flashing is not required outside of unbricking. The board pages now defer to Dasharo's initial-deployment and recovery docs (external flashing = initial deployment = unbricking), removing unverified home-made claims (chip extraction, EC external flash, WSON-8 probe). The MSI Z790-P/Z690-A pages defer to Dasharo's MSI initial-deployment and recovery (CH341A) docs.

Board renames (drop "-maximized")

"-maximized" is reserved for boards with the Intel ME neutered/cleaned (at least some ME modules removed). These boards only set the HAP bit in the IFD — or have no Intel ME at all (Talos, POWER9) — so the suffix was dropped:

• novacustom-v540tu, novacustom-v560tu, novacustom-nv4x_adl
• nitropad-ns50
• msi_z790p_ddr5, msi_z690a_ddr5
• talos-2

• PR description lists a broken-link fix for the Heads “dasharo-ec” module (and renaming the link text from ite_ec → dasharo-ec), but this PR currently contains no references to “dasharo-ec” / “modules/dasharo-ec” anywhere in the docs (and the previous ite_ec link appears to have been removed instead). Please update the PR description’s broken-link checklist to match what changed, or add the intended dasharo-ec link if it was meant to remain in the docs.
