On Big Sur and up apple includes the VirtIO driver and therefore the install disk is named
Apple Inc. VirtIO Block Device instead of QEMU HARDDISK Media.
This PR lets the documentation reflect that.
macOS refuses to enable TRIM on any disk models that are not in Apple's verified approval list. However, there is a command that you can run via `sudo` to forcibly tell macOS to enable TRIM even though the disk model is unsupported by Apple.
Here we add the instructions to `README.md` for forcibly enabling TRIM support.
In a previous commit we dropped usage of VirtIO Block Media from backing the hard disk device in macOS guests. The instructions therefore are updated here to drop the split between macOS versions that we had previously enabled VirtIO Block Media disks and those we didn't. This simplifies the instructions to a single hard disk name for all supported macOS version installations.
The previous commit removes our usage of VirtIO Block Media as a backing for the macOS hard disk. We therefore need to drop our descriptions of this functionality now we're not using it any more.
