Upstream V8 is dropping support for mips/mipsel/mips64/mips64el.
This commit removes the build flags from the configure script
and some loose ends from the documentation.

Fixes: #26179

I've defensively labelled this semver-major as I don't think this should land on any of our current releases.

LGTM. It's sad to see this port being discontinued.

For those interested, this was the initial commit, nine years ago, almost exactly a year after Ryan made the initial commit for Node.js:

MIPS port initial commit

This is the first step in the MIPS port of V8. It adds assembler, disassembler and simulator for the MIPS32 architecture.

Contains stubbed out implementation of all the compiler/code generator infrastructure to make it all build.

Patch by Alexandre Rames from Sigma Designs Inc.

The ownership was transferred from Sigma Designs over to Home Jinni to Imagination Technologies to Wave Computing, with more or less the same folks working diligently to catch up with changes the V8 team made.

Despite the semver-major label, I'm guessing a CITGM run here doesn't make much sense. (Anyone who feels differently should feel free to start one.)
