Remove epiphany architecture support

Description

I tried to build the epiphany BSP with GCC 10 recently and a lot internal compiler errors appeared. If it is not possible to build the BSP with a released GCC 10.1, then I suggest to remove this architecture. The GDB was never supported by the FSF upstream. To me this looks like an unmaintained architecture.

I think the development of the Ephipany architecture and its toolchain is already seized. In this case, yes I agree it should be deleted.

Ok, good. You can still use RTEMS 5 for it. If necessary, the port can be resurrected from this release.

You can't build rtems5 for epiphany. Mongoose.c has long caused an ICE. GCC has just gotten worse. Removing it after the release is ok by me.

In 401b237/rtems:

epiphany: Remove support for this target

Due to an unmaintained toolchain (internal errors in GCC, no FSF GDB
integration) the Epiphany architecture was obsoleted in RTEMS 5.1.

Update #3941.
