arm: prune imx5 support from the tree

Description

arm: prune imx5 support from the tree

The IMX5 configs were removed in advance of FreeBSD 14.0 in
cdb0c2a73df ("arm: Remove IMX5 specific kernel configs"). This code
isn't built with GENERIC and doesn't actually build today as-is, so
let's remove it to avoid needless maintenance work to it that won't be
tested. As usual, revival is welcome with a committed user and work to
maintain it with upstream DTS and, ideally, in GENERIC.

I note that vt_early_fb is now effectively orphaned as nothing else will
use it, but I haven't yet removed it since I have not done anything to
ascertain if it could be integrated easily enough for other SoC. It is
among the files that doesn't actually build with today's clang, though.
