Remove MIPS architecture

The MIPS architecture port has been added 5+ years ago in order to
support a Chrome OS project that ended up going nowhere. No other board
has used it since and nobody is still willing or has the expertise and
hardware to maintain it. We have decided that it has become too much of
a mainenance burden and the chance of anyone ever reviving it seems too
slim at this point. This patch eliminates all MIPS code and
MIPS-specific hacks.

## Port payloads to ARM, AArch64 or RISC-V
While we have a rather big set of payloads for x86 based platforms, all other
architectures are rather limited. Improve the situation by porting a payload
to one of the platforms, for example GRUB2, U-Boot (the UI part), Tianocore,
