Patch: drop NEC v810 support

Patch: drop NEC v810 support

[Nathanael Nerode]

After some investigation, it looks like v810 isn't really supported by any
subdirectory of gcc or src.  The only one with any code for it is newlib, 
I can't find any evidence that anyone's using it or that it works, and it 
hasn't been updated since 1995.

Its configury fragment, toplevel config/mt-v810, is causing me trouble in 
autoconfiscation.  Therefore, this patch simply blows the target away.

If anyone is actually using newlib for the NEC v810, I expect them to tell
me how, so I can make some configury which is more reasonable than the 
current one.

	* configure.in (v810*): Remove support.

It was a newlib only port, using the NEC compiler.  It was a rather unusual
port, and one that we don't need to worry about now.  Dropping the mt-v810
file is OK.

Dropping the port is OK too, but if we are doing that, then we may as well
delete the newlib bits.  The main part is in the lib/sys/sysnec810 directory
and the newlib configure.host file, but there are various files with 
#ifdef __v810__ in them to deal with NEC compiler specific issues.  Use
"find . -type f | xargs grep v810" to find them.  This isn't your problem
though, it is a problem for the newlib maintainers to worry about.

So if I submitted a patch which just did this, it could get approved easily?

I just want to get through the autoconfiscation blockers.

This is OK.
