cortex-m-quickstart was deprecated and emptied by its author (see #396).
The repo's git history was wiped down to a README pointing users at
app-template instead.

#403 already updated the "Running" section of this chapter to use
app-template's defmt/qemu-run workflow, and the cargo-generate
command in "Creating a non standard Rust program" already pointed at
app-template. But the surrounding prose and the two alternative
install methods were never updated:

  • The intro paragraph still said "We'll use the cortex-m-quickstart
    project template..." and referred to an examples directory (app-template
    uses src/bin).
  • "Using git" cloned rust-embedded/cortex-m-quickstart, which now
    contains only a README.
  • "Using neither" downloaded a zip snapshot of the same now-emptied repo.

This is a partial fix for #396.

cortex-m-quickstart was deprecated and emptied by its author (see rust-embedded#396).
The cargo-generate command in this section already pointed at app-template,
but the surrounding prose and the git-clone/zip-download alternatives still
referenced the now-archived cortex-m-quickstart repo, whose git history was
wiped down to a README.
