rGf73c9b5da190: mi_switch.9: Remove cpu_switch, cpu_throw

Summary

cpu_machdep.9 was added to document cpu_*, but cpu_switch and cpu_throw
were already documented in mi_switch.9, and MLINKed.  cpu_machdep.9
seems like the correct place for this, so remove them from mi_switch.9.

Reported by: tools/pkgbase/metalog_reader.lua
Fixes: 9c87cbbcaaed ("cpu_machdep.9: New manpage describing the semantics of several cpu_*")

Not sure if some of the text removed from here should be added to to cpu_machdep.9.

The differences in cpu_throw are actually stale (we don't use it from thread_exit anymore). The fact that curthread and the current pmap are changed in cpu_switch probably is a detail worth carrying over to cpu_machdep(9).
