powerpc: drop MPC832x_MDS platform support
This final variant in the e300 family of Modular Development System (MDS) in this series was actually aimed at feature reduction - things like floating point and ethernet were removed in order to make for a lower power and lower cost system. Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place in parallel. These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given to partners who were planning to make their own boards. Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this particular platform.
