docs: Remove remainders of reiserfs

Reiserfs has been removed in 6.13, there are still some mentions in the
documentation about it and the tools. Remove those that don't seem
relevant anymore but keep references to reiserfs' r5 hash used by some
code.

There's one change in a script scripts/selinux/install_policy.sh but it
does not seem to be relevant either.

a similar level of journaling as that of XFS and JFS in its default
mode - metadata journaling. A crash+recovery can cause incorrect data to
appear in files which were written shortly before the crash. This mode will
typically provide the best ext4 performance.

this results in concentration of disk activity in a small time interval which
occurs only once every 10 minutes, or whenever the disk is forced to spin up by
a cache miss. The disk can then be spun down in the periods of inactivity.

ideally, the reset should happen at or below the block layer,
so that the file systems are not disturbed.
Reiserfs does not tolerate errors returned from the block device.
Ext3fs seems to be tolerant, retrying reads/writes until it does
succeed. Both have been only lightly tested in this scenario.
