Clarify things, update URLs. Add in the storage.erase_filesystem() method, and remove errant . that confused a user.

**For boards with** ``CIRCUITPY`` **stored on a separate SPI flash chip,
such as Feather M0 Express, Metro M0 Express and Circuit Playground Express:**

There aren't any .uf2's in the recent releases in this repo. Maybe we made them by hand a long time ago. The alternative is to use Arduino and upload the program, or use the precompiled ones that are in the guide.

@dhalbert Should I simply rewrite both of these sections to point to the CIRCUITPY Drive Issues section on the Troubleshooting page in the Welcome to CircuitPython guide? It's clearly explained there, and I don't think duplicating all of that here makes sense.

Updated to point to guide. Added section to Troubleshooting page on getting into safe mode, and linked to that as well.
