scsi: docs: introduction: Multiple cleanups

Modify URLs to use https instead of http.
Remove ancient URLs that don't work.
Change "scsi" in text to "SCSI".
Change "cdrom" in text to "CD-ROM".
Drop the reference to "autoclean" for modules since I can't
find it in any current documentation.

··· 6 6 7 7 The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) maintains a document describing 8 8 the SCSI subsystem in the Linux kernel (lk) 2.4 series. See: 9 - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO .

To understand 18 16 your options, we should first define a few terms. 19 17 20 - The scsi-core (also known as the "mid level") contains the core of scsi 21 - support. Without it you can do nothing with any of the other scsi drivers. 22 - The scsi core support can be a module (scsi_mod.o), or it can be built into 23 - the kernel.

In practice the modprobe and rmmod commands 26 24 will enforce the correct ordering of loading and unloading modules in 27 25 the SCSI subsystem. 28 26 29 27 The individual upper and lower level drivers can be loaded in any order 30 - once the scsi core is present in the kernel (either compiled in or loaded 31 - as a module).
