Only a very small number of machines remain that rely on
traditional board files with the ATAGS boot data instead
of devicetree, and we have not accepted new ones for
a decade.
Most of the remaining ones are on their way out of the
kernel, but the Kconfig option that controls ATAGS
is still enabled by default.
To reflect the actual status of ATAGS support and alert
the remaining users of upstream and out-of-tree platforms
with this, change it to being default-disabled and
add a dependency on CONFIG_EXPERT.
The board specific defconfig files that rely on ATAGS
are changed to turn on both EXPERT and ATAGS if they
were not doing that already, and the ones that explicitly
turned it off before no longer need to.

On ARMv4 and ARMv5, the default is still to build for OABI, with
CONFIG_AEABI disabled, even though distros and toolchains no longer
support OABI as a target.
Change the default to EABI for all architecture levels and change
the defconfig entries as follows:
- All machines that used to explicitly enable EABI can drop that line now
- Machines that are likely to actually use old distros and had NWFPE
enabled in combination with OABI (rpc, footrbridge, netwinder,
assabet, neponset) explicitly turn it on now.
- Machines that already had both EABI and NWFPE disabled in defconfig
(spear3xx, spear6xx) were likely not usable with either OABI or
EABI and now use EABI instead implicitly, making it more likely that
they could work.

The only user of PCBC mode (Propagating Cipher Block Chaining mode) was
net/rxrpc/rxkad.c, which now uses local code instead.
While PCBC was an interesting cryptographic experiment, it has largely
been relegated to the history books and academic exercises. It is
non-parallelizable (i.e., very slow) and doesn't actually achieve the
integrity properties it was apparently intended to achieve.
Remove support for it from the crypto API.
