In 10.0 we deprecated the pxa CPU family (pxa250, pxa255, pxa260
pxa261, pxa262, pxa270-a0, pxa270-a1, pxa270, pxa270-b0, pxa270-b1,
pxa270-c0, pxa270-c5). Now we have released 10.1 we can remove them.
This commit removes only the top level CPU definitions and updates
the documentation. Removing the CPUs means that there is now a lot
of dead iwMMXt code, which we will delete in subsequent commits.
