beagleboneblack-board: remove the "do not damage your BBB" slide
The recommandation to not remove power abruptly from the BBB is
somewhat silly and not very nice to explain as one of the very first
slides of the training:
- An embedded board that you have to cleanly shutdown? Seriously? It
must be very very poorly designed.
- The explanation at http://bit.ly/1FWHNZi were only advising people
to take this habit in order to see if it was going to reduce the
occurence of a very rare problem, and this statement hasn't been
updated in years.
- Nobody in the training labs were following this advise anyway.
So, let's get rid of it.

-\begin{itemize}
- \item Do not remove power abruptly:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Boards components have been damaged by removing the power or
- USB cable in an abrupt way, not leaving the PMIC the time to
- switch off the components in a clean way. See
- \url{http://bit.ly/1FWHNZi}
- \item Reboot (\code{reboot}) or shutdown (\code{halt}) the board
- in software when Linux is running.
- \item You can also press the \code{RESET} button to reset and
- reboot.
- \item When there is no software way, you can also switch off
- the board by pressing the \code{POWER} button for 8 seconds.
- \end{itemize}
- \item Do not leave your board powered on a metallic surface (like a
- laptop with a metal finish).
