Added info about HideAuxiliary to all Intel desktop, laptop, HEDT, and AMD config guides.

Would it be better to leave it enabled and put a note on the installation page? Hiding recovery is generally useful aside from the initial installation.

As a post-install step, people usually transfer their EFI to their drive's ESP anyway, which involves deleting the com.apple.recovery.boot folder. Or they can just delete it without transferring their EFI. I also mentioned that if the user would like to hide those entries, they can enable it. If you'd still like me to change it though, I can.

Recovery would still be shown for installed disks, plus auxiliary options (such as UEFI Shell, NVRAM Reset, etc if set). I think most people would prefer to hide entries they don't normally use, though I'm not sure what the best option is here in this specific case.

You've probably helped more people out recently, I'll defer to you about it I guess.

Also, we already have a note on the install process page. Might be worth upgrading it to be in a warning box though.

Yeah you make a good point. I guess the only people who would get screwed with telling people to set it to true would be people who don't fully read everything 😛 I'll update the install process page as well as changing what we tell people to set HideAuxiliary to.

Should be good unless you have an issue with the new Comment section I wrote.

Converting to a draft until #342 and #343 are merged. Will update this PR with changes for coffee-lake.md and alder-lake.md afterwards.
