New description:

 Remove the H8300 port per the instructions at
 ​https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Removing_a_Port.

 All BSPa must be removed before the architectural port can be removed.
 These are tracked by the following tickets:

 #2453 - h8sim

 Rationale: The h8 has been end of lifed. There do not appear to be any
 users based up questions and tickets filed. The architecture itself has
 issues which lead to breakages in gcc (which do get fixed though often
 slowly) and those same issues force us to disable some features like iconv
 in newlib. With no users, end of life, and tool issues, it is time to
 remove it.
