Documentation: move Appendices to Development, fixed links
Both sections "User Partition" and "UUID Reference" are more
development topics, so by Alyssa's advice they should go
directly under the Development chapter. The section Appendices
was removed.

In addition, I replaced broken links.

+The Spectrum host system is immutable, so configuration and user data
+lives on a separate partition.
+
+The host system discovers the user
+partition by looking for the special partition type
+`9293e1ff-cee4-4658-88be-898ec863944f`.
+
+This behavior can be overridden with the `ext` parameter on the host's kernel
+command line, which works in a similar way to the standard Linux `root`
+parameter.
