site/download.md: refer to GNU Boot and simplify "statically linked" paragraph

This commit simplifies the "statically linked" paragraph by removing unneeded
references to another project releases older than GNU Boot. Also it makes the
text only refer to GNU Boot.

Statically linked
------------------
Libreboot includes statically linked executables in some releases, built from
the available source code. Those executables have certain libraries built into
them, so that the executables will work on many GNU+Linux distros.
Libreboot 20160907 was built in Trisquel GNU+Linux, version 7.0 64-bit.
Some older Libreboot releases will have been built in Trisquel 6.0.1.
To comply with GNU GPL v2, Trisquel 6 and 7 source ISOs are supplied by the
Libreboot project. You can find these source ISOs in the `ccsource` directory
on the `rsync` mirrors.
Libreboot releases past version 20160907 do not distribute statically linked
binaries. Instead, these releases are source-only, besides pre-compiled ROM
images for which the regular Libreboot source code archives suffice. These newer
releases instead automate the installation of build dependencies, with instructions
in the documentation for building various utilities from source.
These executables are utilities such as `flashrom`.
