Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
For the following pages:
- [how to/select architectures](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/snapcraft/stable/how-to/crafting/select-architectures/)
- [reference/architectures](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/snapcraft/stable/reference/architectures/)
- [explanation/architectures](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/snapcraft/stable/explanation/architectures/)
1. Remove core20 references
2. Combine reference and explanations into a reference
3. Rename architecture pages to 'platforms'
4. Move [this section](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/snapcraft/stable/explanation/architectures/#architecture-errors) to the how-to
### The problem it solves
The reference and explanations don't follow diataxis and information is duplicated between them.
Core20 takes up a substantial part of these docs. Now that we're removing it, this is a good time to fix these pages.
