migration-4.3: adjustments to existing text

* Reword the layername side-effects commentary to be a bit more readable
* Extend edgerouter removal description
* Correct capitalisation of systemd
* For QEMU_USE_SLIRP, specify what to use instead, and adjust the
  following list item to use the same style
* Extend statement on -crossssdk / MLPREFIX change to indicate what
  needs to be done

 Code can now know which layer a recipe is coming from through the newly added
 :term:`FILE_LAYERNAME` variable and the ``layer-<layername> override``. This is being used
 for enabling QA checks on a per layer basis. For existing code this has the
-side effect that the QA checks will apply to things being bbappended to recipes
-from other layers. Those other layers would need to have patch upstream status
-entries for patches being bbappended for example.
