installation: add section about booting with nomodeset

Browse Source 
As the grub entry specific to this was removed with the 8.1 release, add
a separate section for this to link users too.

Unfortunaly it is relatively often needed, due to very old or very new
hardware, or when Nvidia cards are installed.

Adding the `nomodeset` Kernel Parameter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problems may arise on very old or very new hardware due to graphics drivers. If
the installation hangs during the boot. In that case, you can try adding the
`nomodeset` parameter. This prevents the Linux kernel from loading any
graphics drivers and forces it to continue using the BIOS/UEFI-provided
framebuffer.
On the {pve} bootloader menu, navigate to 'Install {pve} (Terminal UI)' and
press `e` to edit the entry. Using the arrow keys, navigate to the line starting
with `linux`, move the cursor to the end of that line and add the
parameter `nomodeset`, separated by a space from the pre-existing last
parameter.
Then press `Ctrl-X` or `F10` to boot the configuration.
