Remove deprecated target tilegx
TILE-Gx was only implemented in linux-user mode, but support for this CPU was removed from the upstream Linux kernel in 2018, and it has also been dropped from glibc, so there is no new Linux development taking place with this architecture. For running the old binaries, users can simply use older versions of QEMU.

These machine types were very old and likely could not be used for live
migration from old QEMU versions anymore. Use a newer machine type instead.
