Forget about USB sticks that used to be configured as fixed disks

Originally created by @sajolida on #16926 (Redmine)

We have a section in /support/known_issues about USB sticks requiring live-media=removable to work for Tails:

This problem has been reported as fixed by SanDisk mid-2014 (874ab45b) and since then we only added 1 model in 2016 (0d34ce32).

Several years later, I wonder whether this problem is still reported by users.

If not, we could get rid of this section in /support/known_issues and of the corresponding instructions in “Tails does not start entirely”.

I also don’t mind buying a recent SanDisk to double-check.
