remove packaging support for SPARC
100%
Description
As part of the retirement of SPARC support, I propose to simply remove the packaging data for SPARC systems.
This is an incremental step to the removal, and I'm proposing it for these reasons:
1. It makes it clear that SPARC that isn't meant to be delivered or supported anymore.
2. Partial updates to e.g. remove platforms or drivers or drivers can be a lot more challenging because of the need to detangle dependencies to not deliver busted stuff.
3. Apart from that concern, it makes the effort for follow up cleanups considerably less; no need to touch packaging at all when simply removing SPARC bits.
4. It makes the burden lower for some non-SPARC updates (e.g.)

Testing:
pkgrepo diff showed no differences:
gdamore@rts-build-01:~/ws/illumos$ man pkgrepo gdamore@rts-build-01:~/ws/illumos$ /usr/bin/pkgrepo diff -s 14786-no-sparc-pkg/packages/i386/nightly/repo.redist -s 4889-scsa-obsolete/packages/i386/nightly/repo.redist/
The table below shows the number of packages [total distinct versions]
by publisher in the specified repositories.
- Repo1: /devp02/gdamore/illumos/14786-no-sparc-pkg/packages/i386/nightly/repo.redist/
- Repo2: /devp02/gdamore/illumos/4889-scsa-obsolete/packages/i386/nightly/repo.redist/

The attached script was used to compare the contents of two repos. The resulting files (/tmp/dir1.out /tmp/dir2.out) were diff -u'd.
The only differences in content (after eliminating hash and version number changes -- see the script) is this:

The explanation of those two entries changing:
1. We added a man page directory which was erroneously only listed for SPARC, even though we still contents into that directory (this is a fix)
2. We removed the ses/vendor plugin directory, as there was no longer anything delivered into it.
