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.

We discussed dropping this target last year:
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20191012071210.13632-1-philmd@redhat.com/
and before that in 2018, when Chen told us he didn't have time
to work on tilegx any more:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-03/msg03955.html
Given that tilegx is no longer in upstream Linux I think it makes sense
to finally deprecate-and-drop our linux-user support for it.
