target/riscv: Remove the deprecated 'any' CPU type
The 'any' CPU is deprecated since commit f57d5f8004b
("target/riscv: deprecate the 'any' CPU type"). Users
are better off using the default CPUs or the 'max' CPU.

-The 'any' CPU type was introduced back in 2018 and has been around since the

-After the introduction of the 'max' CPU type, RISC-V now has a good coverage
-of generic CPUs: rv32 and rv64 as default CPUs and 'max' as a feature complete
-CPU for both 32 and 64 bit builds. Users are then discouraged to use the 'any'
-CPU type starting in 8.2.
