```
std.Target: Remove the `shave` arch tag.

This was added as an architecture to LLVM's target triple parser and the Clang
driver in 2015. No backend ever materialized as far as I can see (same for GCC).
In 2016, other code referring to it started using "Myriad" instead. Ultimately,
all code related to it that isn't in the target triple parser was removed. It
seems to be a real product, just... literally no one seems to know anything
about the ISA. I figure after almost a decade with no public ISA documentation
to speak of, and no LLVM backend to reference, it's probably safe to assume that
we're not going to learn much about this ISA, making it useless for Zig.
