docs(boot): Rewrite floppy_vs_hdd_physical_boot as disk_boot.md

- Renamed to disk_boot.md for conciseness
- Completely rewrote to meet Type A concept article standards
- Fact-checked IDE (PIO) vs SCSI (DMA) behavior
- Documented exact OS 3.2 strap and bootblock implementation details
- Updated references in all related README files
