xtensa: deprecate fast_xtensa and fast_spill_registers syscalls
These syscalls are not used by userspace tools for some time now, and they have issues when called with invalid arguments. It's not worth changing signal delivery mechanism as we don't expect any new users for these syscalls. Let's keep them for backwards compatibility under #ifdef, disabled by default.
