[PATCH v2 3/3] hw/ppc: Deprecate 405 CPUs

["Cédric Le Goater" <clg@redhat.com>]

The ref405ep machine is scheduled for removal in QEMU 10.0. Keep the
405 CPU implementation for a while because it is theoretically
possible to model the power management (OCC) co-processor found on the
IBM POWER [8-11] processors.

+The PPC 405 CPU has no known users and the ``ref405ep`` machine was
+removed in QEMU 10.0. Since the IBM POWER [8-11] processors uses an
+embedded 405 for power management (OCC) and other internal tasks, it
+is theoretically possible to use QEMU to model them. Let's keep the
+CPU implementation for a while before removing all support.
