EDAC/i82443bxgx: Remove driver that has been marked broken since 2007
The history of this driver is pretty amusing. It was marked broken in 2007 in 28f96ee ("drivers/edac-new-i82443bxgz-mc-driver: mark as broken"). It was then fixed in 2008 in 53a2fe5 ("edac: make i82443bxgx_edac coexist with intel_agp"), but the dependency on BROKEN was never removed. Given that this was never fixed in the last ~18 years, it is obvious there is no demand for this driver. Remove it and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file.
