The arch support status files don't match reality as of v5.19-rc1,
use the features-refresh.sh to refresh all the arch-support.txt files
in place. The main effect is to add entries for the new loong
architecture.

The asm-generic tree contains three separate changes for linux-5.19:
- The h8300 architecture is retired after it has been effectively
unmaintained for a number of years. This is the last architecture we
supported that has no MMU implementation, but there are still a few
architectures (arm, m68k, riscv, sh and xtensa) that support CPUs with
and without an MMU.
- A series to add a generic ticket spinlock that can be shared by most
architectures with a working cmpxchg or ll/sc type atomic, including
the conversion of riscv, csky and openrisc. This series is also a
prerequisite for the loongarch64 architecture port that will come as
a separate pull request.
- A cleanup of some exported uapi header files to ensure they can be
included from user space without relying on other kernel headers.

There's no direct cputime_t manipulation in the xtensa arch code, so
generic virt CPU accounting may be enabled.

remove the h8300 architecture
This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at
the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that
does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB
of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just
for .text/.data.
Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013
after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought
it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history
since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree
are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups:

The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no
upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to
prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were
available are not supported by the kernel anymore.
Guenter Roeck says:
I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no
available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised
that support for it has not been removed from the kernel.
Remove unicore32 port.

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
so we no longer want to track the respective features.
We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.
