Philippe Mathieu-Daudé b91b0fc163 accel: Remove HAX accelerator

HAX is deprecated since commits 73741fda6c ("MAINTAINERS: Abort
HAXM maintenance") and 90c167a1da ("docs/about/deprecated: Mark
HAXM in QEMU as deprecated"), released in v8.0.0.

Per the latest HAXM release (v7.8 [*]), the latest QEMU supported
is v7.2:

  Note: Up to this release, HAXM supports QEMU from 2.9.0 to 7.2.0.

The next commit (https://github.com/intel/haxm/commit/da1b8ec072)
added:

  HAXM v7.8.0 is our last release and we will not accept
  pull requests or respond to issues after this.

It became very hard to build and test HAXM. Its previous
maintainers made it clear they won't help.  It doesn't seem to be
a very good use of QEMU maintainers to spend their time in a dead
project. Save our time by removing this orphan zombie code.

README

This directory contains scripts for generating a build of QEMU that
closely matches the CentOS Stream[1] builds of the qemu-kvm package.

To have the environment ready to configure, build QEMU and run tests,
please start with a CentOS Stream machine and:

 * apply the generic "build-environment.yml" playbook located at
   scripts/ci/setup

 * apply the "build-environment.yml" in the directory following the
   CentOS Stream version (such as "8").

This currently only covers CentOS Stream 8 environments and
packages[2].
