priiloader: split it into two pages

Browse source 
- Explaining all that is Priiloader in one page, especially one on the
  main guide path, can be *very* confusing for the end user
- Only keep a small selection of patches enabled by default, and move
  all the "Additional Options" and technical explanations somewhere
  else.

title: Priiloader Usage
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Priiloader is an essential tool that adds a level of brick protection to your Wii. It loads before the Wii System Menu does. The tool can also apply hacks that are used to enhance, unlock, and/or fix many System Menu features.
Additionally, it can be used to quickly launch any Title or Homebrew, or change the way Wii autoboots.
This page documents some of the useful features of Priiloader that may be of interest.
### System Menu Hacks
Priiloader has a large selection of options that, once enabled, change the behaviour of the Wii to one of your choice.
<details id="system-menu-hacks-list" class="notice--info" markdown="1">
