Remove support for HPPA (a/k/a PA-RISC) architecture.
This old CPU architecture hasn't been produced in decades, and whatever instances might still survive are surely too underpowered for anyone to consider running Postgres on in production. We'd nonetheless continued to carry code support for it (largely at my insistence), because its unique implementation of spinlocks seemed like a good edge case for our spinlock infrastructure. However, our last buildfarm animal of this type was retired last year, and it seems quite unlikely that another will emerge. Without the ability to run tests, the argument that this is useful test code fails to hold water. Furthermore, carrying code support for an untestable architecture has costs not to be ignored. So, remove HPPA-specific code, in the same vein as commits718aa43a4
