ARCangel was one of the main development boards back in the day but
now it's gone and replaced by other boards like ARC SDP.
But we also used to have simulation platform very similar to ARCangel4
in terms of CPU settings as well as basic IO like UART. Even though
ARCangel4 is long gone now we have a replacement for simulation which is
a plain or stand-alone nSIM and Free nSIM.
Note Free nSIM is available for download here:
https://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/dwarcnsim/req1.cgi
And while at it:
* Finally switch hex numerical values in nsim.h to defines from
include/linux/sizes.h
* Add defconfigs with ARC HS38 cores
* Recreated all defconfigs with savedefconfig

This change allows to keep board description clean and minimalistic.
This is especially helpful if one board may house different CPUs with
different features.
It is applicable to both FPGA-based boards or those that have CPUs
mounted on interchnagable daughter-boards.

We have switched to Kconfig and the boards.cfg file is going to
be removed. We have to retrieve the board status and maintainers
information from it.
The MAINTAINERS format as in Linux Kernel would be nice
because we can crib the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.
After some discussion, we chose to put a MAINTAINERS file under each
board directory, not the top-level one because we want to collect
relevant information for a board into a single place.
TODO:
Modify get_maintainer.pl to scan multiple MAINTAINERS files.
