[v2,0/3] ppc: Remove ref405ep

Message

Hello,

The PPC 405 CPU and ref405ep machine was deprecated in QEMU 9.1
because there are no known users, firmware images are not available,
OpenWRT dropped support in 2019, U-Boot in 2017, and Linux in 2024.

Continue the phase-out process and remove tests, plus boards. The 405
CPU implementation is kept for a while because it is possible to model
the power management (OCC) co-processor found on the IBM POWER [8-11]
processors.

Thanks,

C.

Changes in v2:

 - keep CPU implementation (for OCC possible models)
