Dropped/moved links to the Qt for MCUs documentation
at some places. This should improve the reading
experience and avoid confusion.

\section2 MCU and Bare Metal Plugins
To be able to develop for MCUs, you must enable the Bare Metal and MCU
plugins:
To be able to develop applications for MCUs, you need the MCU plugin at least.
This plugin is enabled automatically by the installer when you install the
Qt for MCUs SDK.
The Bare Metal plugin is optional unless you want to configure the
debug server provider settings explicitly. For more information
see \l{Connecting Bare Metal Devices}.
To explicitly disable or enable any of these plugins, follow these
instructions:

\li Select \uicontrol Help > \uicontrol {About Plugins} >
\uicontrol {Device Support} > \uicontrol {Bare Metal} and
\uicontrol {MCU Support} to enable the Bare Metal and MCU
plugins.
\li Select \uicontrol {Restart Now} to restart \QC and load the plugins.
\li Create connections for debugging on the MCU board, as described in
\l{Connecting Bare Metal Devices}.
