handbook/basics/disk-organization: add nvme disk names
Add nvme disk names (nda, nvd), remove obsolete 'ad', 'acd', 'ast', 'mcd' and 'scd' device names. Did not remove raid adapters gone in 13, but still present in 12. Note: this section needs a refresh to move from MBR slice and disklabel to GPT slices. Sponsored by: Netflix
