xtensa: deprecate fast_xtensa and fast_spill_registers syscalls 

These syscalls are not used by userspace tools for some time now, and
they have issues when called with invalid arguments. It's not worth
changing signal delivery mechanism as we don't expect any new users for
these syscalls. Let's keep them for backwards compatibility under #ifdef,
disabled by default.

fast_syscall_xtensa is a syscall that can make atomic operations
on UP kernel when processor has no s32c1i support.
This syscall is deprecated. It may have issues when called with
invalid arguments. It is provided only for backwards compatibility.
Only enable it if your userspace software requires it.
If unsure, say N.
config FAST_SYSCALL_SPILL_REGISTERS
bool "Enable spill registers syscall"

help
fast_syscall_spill_registers is a syscall that spills all active
register windows of a calling userspace task onto its stack.
This syscall is deprecated. It may have issues when called with
invalid arguments. It is provided only for backwards compatibility.
Only enable it if your userspace software requires it.
If unsure, say N.
