MarkDown linter "mdl" reports many warnings on README.md.
Let them get fixed to ease its maintenance and readability.

- Running "sudo pip install" can be OK in a CI but generates a clear
warning. It is strongly disadvised to run it in a user or a production
environment because it can break the host packages system.
"pip install --user" or venv are usually prefered in most situations.
- Nested virtualization support is not always enough to build OVS image
inside a VM. The full KVM interface must be exposed, what may require
extra configuration such as the KVM paravirtualization in VirtualBox.
- On the recommended version of Ubuntu (20.0.4), installing docker CE
with the given process does not remove docker from snap
when a previous installation of the distribution package docker.io
was already present in the system.
Using docker through snap currently triggers a bug during the SONiC
build process.

#### Why I did it
- Building `sonic-$PLATFORM.img.gz` fails if KVM support is not enabled.
- Repos have been transferred over from Azure to sonic-net domain
- sonic-net repos no longer use Microsoft CLA, so updated the README to point towards Linux foundation CLA
- p4 platform is no longer supported. Reference: https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/issues/2591#issuecomment-649425081
* Ported Marvell armhf build on x86 for debian buster to use cross-compilation instead of qemu emulation
Current armhf Sonic build on amd64 host uses qemu emulation. Due to the
nature of the emulation it takes a very long time, about 22-24 hours to
complete the build. The change I did to reduce the building time by
porting Sonic armhf build on amd64 host for Marvell platform for debian
buster to use cross-compilation on arm64 host for armhf target. The
overall Sonic armhf building time using cross-compilation reduced to
about 6 hours.

The current instructions cannot be used on e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.
This commit reformats the steps to be more natural to read when
first getting started building SONiC.
* Add SONIC_BUILD_JOBS=$(nproc) to usage guide
* Explain disk usage w.r.t. SONIC_BUILD_JOBS
* Set BUILD JOBS to 4
More than 4 can cause race issues right now, and setting to nproc
might be too much as every job spawns multiple threads.

Lack of having the support for no_proxy in SONiC build environment limits enterprise companies to put some internal hacks to ensure the proxy's dont refer to some Intranet site for artifactory downloads etc. Today. Using no_proxy is familiar in proxy settings terminology and excludes traffic destined to certain hosts.
Most Web clients hence support connection to proxy servers via environment variables:
http_proxy / HTTP_PROXY
https_proxy / HTTPS_PROXY
no_proxy / NO_PROXY
These variables tell the client what URL should be used to access the proxy servers and which exceptions should be made.
How to verify it
Simply set up the variable in the bash shell at build time.
export no_proxy=internal.example.com, internal2.example.com
Usage is:
no_proxy is a comma- or space-separated list of machine or domain names, with optional :port part. If no :port
part is present, it applies to all ports on that domain.
Somehow this was missed in april, I added the icons for 201904 so that
the branch is not forgotten

Users can install docker with sudo, and it requires sudo to issue docker command. This will cause few errors in Makefile.work which need use docker without sudo.
ARM Architecture support in SONIC
