docs: fb: Remove framebuffer scrollback boot option

Browse Source 
In commit 50145474f6 ("fbcon: remove soft scrollback code"), the
framebuffer scrollback mode was removed, but the documentation was not
updated.  Properly update the documentation by removing the option that
is no longer present, and update the section numbering because of the
removal.

The scrollback buffer is memory that is used to preserve display
contents that has already scrolled past your view. This is accessed
by using the Shift-PageUp key combination. The value 'value' is any

This option specifies the color of the margins. The margins are the
leftover area at the right and the bottom of the screen that are not

is an integer number that depends on the framebuffer driver being used.

If the kernel is compiled with deferred fbcon takeover support, normally
