Deprecate TileGX port



Deprecate our TileGX target support:
 * we have no active maintainer for it
 * it has had essentially no contributions (other than tree-wide cleanups
   and similar) since it was first added
 * the Linux kernel dropped support in 2018, as has glibc

Note the deprecation in the manual, but don't try to print a warning
when QEMU runs -- printing unsuppressable messages is more obtrusive
for linux-user mode than it would be for system-emulation mode, and
it doesn't seem worth trying to invent a new suppressible-error
system for linux-user just for this.

		The ``tilegx`` guest CPU support (which was only implemented in
		linux-user mode) is deprecated and will be removed in a future version
		of QEMU. Support for this CPU was removed from the upstream Linux
		kernel in 2018, and has also been dropped from glibc.
