drop s390x

Rust is increasingly a dependency for key Alpine components, and Rust does not work on s390x.

In addition, Alpine is not getting sufficient community interest to keep the port in good shape (I am pretty much the only one working on it these days), while there is no engineering support from IBM for the port.

As such, I would like to propose decommissioning the port, unless the TSC approves a plan to keep it going that involves IBM and other stakeholders.

Incidentally, a quick poll of known downstream consumers (e.g. Kubernetes Ingress) of Alpine s390x did not indicate that s390x support was terribly important to them.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
