x86/apb_timer: Remove driver for deprecated platform
Intel Moorestown and Medfield are quite old Intel Atom based
32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones,
tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago.
There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel
for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real
users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. Commit
05f4434bc130 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") is also in align
with this theory.
Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers,
remove the support for outdated platforms completely.
