Mohammed Awad 3d5b8a3441 #1569: document disabling MSD at startup for Dell/HP UEFIs (#1673) ...

Some Dell (OptiPlex/Pro Micro 7020) and HP (EliteDesk 800 G4) UEFIs
can't handle Mass Storage + HID on a single USB port, causing a black
screen, boot loop, or lost BIOS settings.

Document the recommended workaround `otg/devices/msd/start: false`,
which keeps MSD configured but unstarted at boot (re-enable on demand
via kvmd-otgconf), alongside the existing full-disable method. Note the
affected hardware and warn against confusing the `msd` and `drives`
config sections.
