docs: mark CRIS support as deprecated
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This might be premature but while streamlining the avocado tests I
realised the only tests we have are "check-tcg" ones. The ageing
fedora-cris-cross image works well enough for developers but can't be
used in CI as we need supported build platforms to build QEMU.

Does this mean the writing is on the wall for this architecture?

CRIS CPU architecture (since 9.0)

The CRIS architecture was pulled from Linux in 4.17 and the compiler
is no longer packaged in any distro making it harder to run the
``check-tcg`` tests. Unless we can improve the testing situation there
is a chance the code will bitrot without anyone noticing.
