Remove ports README and update machine ChangeLogs.
This patch removes the ports/README now that ports is no longer
being used. It also adds a header to all ChangeLogs for all machines
that were moved to the main libc tree. The header indicates that the
ChangeLog is no longer used.

-This is the glibc ports add-on, an add-on for the GNU C Library (glibc).
-It contains code that is not maintained in the official glibc source tree.
-
-This includes working ports to GNU/Linux on some machine architectures that
-are not maintained in the official glibc source tree.  It also includes
-some code once used by old libc ports now defunct, which has been abandoned
-but may be useful for some future porter to examine.  It may also include
-some optimized functions tailored for specific CPU implementations of an
-architecture, to be selected using --with-cpu.
-
-The ports add-on is cooperatively maintained by volunteers on the
-<libc-ports@sourceware.org> mailing list, and housed in the ports
-subdirectory of the glibc git repository.  See
-http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/download.html for details on using
-git.  To report a bug in code housed in the ports add-on, please go to
-http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ and file a bug report under the glibc
-"ports" component.
-
-An add-on for an individual port can be made from just the sysdeps/
-subdirectories containing the port's code.  You may want to include a
-README and Banner of your own talking about your port's code in particular,
-rather than the generic ones here.
-
-The real source code for any ports is found in the sysdeps/ subdirectories.
-These should be exactly what would go into the main libc source tree if you
-were to incorporate it directly.  The only exceptions are the files
-sysdeps/*/preconfigure and sysdeps/*/preconfigure.ac; these are fragments
-used by this add-on's configure fragment.  The purpose of these is to set
-$base_machine et al when the main libc configure's defaults are not right
-for some machine.  Everything else can and should be done from a normal
-sysdeps/.../configure fragment that is used only when the configuration
-selects that sysdeps subdirectory.  Each port that requires some special
-treatment before the sysdeps directory list is calculated, should add a
-sysdeps/CPU/preconfigure file; this can either be written by hand or
-generated by Autoconf from sysdeps/CPU/preconfigure.ac, and follow the
-rules for glibc add-on configure fragments.  No preconfigure file should do
-anything on an unrelated configuration, so that disparate ports can be put
-into a single add-on without interfering with each other.
-
-Like all glibc add-ons, this must be used by specifying the directory in
-the --enable-add-ons option when running glibc's configure script.
-
-The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB in the
-libc repository for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about
-a few contributions that require these additional notices to be
-distributed.  License copyright years may be listed using range
-notation, e.g., 2000-2013, indicating that every year in the range,
-inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
-individually.
