powerpc: drop MPC8540_ADS and MPC8560_ADS platform support
Based on the revision history in the manual(s), these e500-v1 platforms were first available around 2002. Like a lot of evaluation boards, they attempted to provide break-out connectors for all possible features, and that combined with four PCI-X slots (and the age/era) meant for a considerably large board. As I recall it, from a Linux point of view, the biggest difference between 8540 and 8560 was in the UART implementation, and that is reflected in a diff of the defconfigs. In any case, these are over 20 years old, and by today's standards only have a small amount of DDR1 memory, and were not widely available. Given that, it makes sense to remove support from them in 2023.
