This release drops support for nios2-linux-gnu, but we've never supported that architecture anyway.

It also drops support for arceb-linux-gnu (not arc-linux-gnu), but I don't consider it worthwhile to maintain support for this target with older glibc versions because:

  1. arc is still an experimental target in LLVM, so official Zig releases don't even include it.
  2. LLVM has never supported arceb (big endian).
  3. It's looking increasingly likely that arc may be removed from LLVM in the future as it hasn't been maintained for years.

I figure we can re-add arceb-linux-gnu support if actual demand ever materializes, and either Zig has a self-hosted backend or the LLVM backend becomes maintained again.

Tested locally with zig4 test-modules -fqemu --glibc-runtimes <...> -Dtest-target-filter=gnu.
