RFC: Removal of the ARM assembler port in Icedtea6, unbreaks Zero and Shark builds.

[Xerxes Rånby]

Hi team.

The ARM assembler port that have been broken and unmaintained for about
a year are currently preventing Zero and Shark from building when using
the new Hotspot in OpenJDK b23.

The attached patch fixes Zero and Shark builds by removing the ARM
assembler port from the icedtea6 tree.

I will also remove the following files:
arm_port/hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/asm_helper.cpp
arm_port/hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/bytecodes_arm.def
arm_port/hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/cppInterpreter_arm.S
arm_port/hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/thumb2.cpp
arm_port/hotspot/tools/mkbc.c
patches/arm.patch

Ok to push?

Cheers
Xerxes
