This is basically the revert of bug 5181. The soft-float ARM platform is little used. We mainly added support in order to provide packages for: * Wyse T50 (bug 4495). Apparently this product is still sold as "3010 (T50)", see http://www.wyse.com/support/eol/cloud-clients. * Igel IZ1 (bug 5001). This product is no longer sold, and apparently there's no other ARM terminal. * HP t410 (bug 4496). This product is no longer sold, and apparently there's no other ARM terminal. * Fujitsu Futro Z220 (bug 4610). This product is still sold. Although 2 of 4 terminals are still sold, our impression is that these are not very popular among ThinLinc customers.
One question was if we should keep the extra stuff we added to support HP's ARM client, which is a "zero client". HP doesn't seem to have any replacement models, but it does offer that slimmed down OS on all hardware now. As such we should probably keep the integration for it.
Should be nothing left. Tester should check: - That there are no armel remnants in the tree or cenbuild - That we're still shipping all other clients - That the documentation looks good (see the commit for relevant chapters)
rpm2debpkg could be seen as a generic conversion tool, so I let it keep the knowledge about armel. tlclient has a check to make sure you're not trying to run a hard-float binary on a soft-float system. That check could be useful a while longer as people might try to run our binaries on an incompatible system, and the bugs that surface otherwise are difficult to diagnose.

Pierre is going to check if we can get hold on a "Zero Client" from HP so that we could continue test this specific code for integration on x86_64.
The Dell Wyse Ubuntu stuff was just for their ARM model, so we should remove that from the TAG.
