doc: Remove long obsolete references to package-initialize

Browse source 
Since Emacs-27, `package-initialize` is for internal use only,
and callers should either call `package-activate-all` instead
(cheaper and faster) or do nothing at all (because the other
functions should trigger the needed initialization automatically
as needed).

* doc/lispref/package.texi (Packaging Basics): Delete `package-initialize`.

* doc/misc/eglot.texi (Reporting bugs): Don't recommend using `package-initialize`.

* doc/misc/org.org (Using Emacs packaging system): Simplify the command
line since both `(require 'package)` and `(package-initialize)` are
redundant here.

@deffn Command package-initialize &optional no-activate
This function initializes Emacs's internal record of which packages are
installed, and then calls @code{package-activate-all}.
The optional argument @var{no-activate}, if non-@code{nil}, causes
Emacs to update its record of installed packages without actually
making them available.
