Description

Pixhawk1 is past EOL and we don't yet have a supported alternative.

Should add additional boards to the "Recommended Autopilots" section in `introduction/hardware-options/required-hardware/autopilot.md`.

Happy to make a PR but don't want to add boards without a product link.

I'm assuming the Pixhawk 4 we discussed was [the one from Holybro](https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/Pixhawk4/README.md) (which is listed in the [ArduPilot common-autopilots page](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-autopilots.html)). They don't seem to mention a Pixhawk 2 anywhere on that page, so I searched for it and it's apparently also called the Cube, of which there are 5 options on the common autopilots page - is there a particular one I should link to?

Research direction

Read introduction/hardware-options/required-hardware/autopilot.md and its “Recommended Autopilots” section, then compare the candidate boards with the linked ArduPilot common-autopilots page. Confirm which Pixhawk or Cube products should be linked before editing. Done means the section lists supported alternatives to Pixhawk1 with product links.
