[PATCH-for-9.0] docs: Deprecate the pseries-2.12 machines
pSeries machines before 3.0 have complex migration back compatibility code we'd like to get ride of. The last one is 2.12, which is 6 years old. We just deprecated up to the 2.11 machine in commit 1392617d35 ("spapr: Tag pseries-2.1 - 2.11 machines as deprecated"). Take to opportunity to also deprecate the 2.12 machines.

Acked-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> I can merge this via the PPC tree. Thanks, Nick
