Log:
xpp: clobber fpga_load

* It was replaced long ago by astribank_hexload/astribank_tool/astribank_allow
* It hasn't been used for several releases now, nor updated.
* Time to move into the eternal bit-bucket.
* Left (very) few strings as a tribute...

+The astribank_hexload(8) program is used to load a file in the
+Intel HEX format into a Xorcom Astribank.
+It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC
 firmware. It is normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.
