[PULL 15/36] target/sh4: Deprecate the shix machine

["Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <philmd@linaro.org>]

From: Samuel Tardieu <sam@rfc1149.net>

The shix machine has been designed and used at Télécom Paris from 2003
to 2010. It had been added to QEMU in 2005 and has not been maintained
since. Since nobody is using the physical board anymore nor interested
in maintaining the QEMU port, it is time to deprecate it.
