arch: remove obsolete architecture ports

This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
 metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
 
 I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
 that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
 mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
 ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
 no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
 
 In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
 different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
 in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
 ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
 CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
 that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
 custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
 CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
 kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
 
 The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
 https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
 marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
 sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
 and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
 but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
 
 After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
 gcc support:
 
 - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
   maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
   in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
 
 - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
   support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
   They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
   complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
   their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
  m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
  drivers.

  I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
  ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
  unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
  respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
  but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.

  contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively

  [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
    generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
    microarchitecture and a software ecosystem"   - Linus ]

  The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
  https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
  marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
  made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,

     degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
     Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
     will be similar

  [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
    since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum  - Linus ]"
