Remove the arm26 port
The arm26 port has been in a state where it was far from even compiling
for quite some time.
Ian Molton agreed with the removal.

The ARM26 code is too different to be sensible to keep with the ARM32 code now, and Russell King really doesnt have the time to maintain the ARM26 code.
