nvmem: Remove unused nvmem cell table support

Board files are deprecated by DT, and the last user of
nvmem_add_cell_table() was removed by commit 2af4fcc0d3574482 ("ARM:
davinci: remove unused board support") in v6.3.  Hence remove all
support for nvmem cell tables, and update the documentation.

Device drivers can still register a single cell using
nvmem_add_one_cell() (which was not documented before).

 Additionally it is possible to create nvmem cell lookup entries and register
 them with the nvmem framework from machine code as shown in the example below::
