## Message

```
std.{coff,elf}: Remove the {MachineType,EM}.toTargetCpuArch() functions.

These are fundamentally incapable of producing accurate information for reasons
I've laid out in #20771. Since our only use of these functions is to check that
object files have the correct machine type, and since #21020 made
`std.Target.to{Coff,Elf}Machine()` more accurate, just switch these checks over
to that and compare the machine type tags instead.

Closes #20771.

```
