Introduced in 1992, the Alpha was a 64-bit RISC processor designed
to replace the VAX CISC machines sold by Digital Equipment Corporation.
After Digital was acquired by Compaq in 1998 -- who themselves would be
later purchased by Hewlett-Packard, the architecture was phased out over
the following decade. It became effectively defunct in 2007, the last
publicly available processor being the Alpha 21364.
FFmpeg has not added any DSP code for this architecture since lowres2
was introduced in 2012, and it is more than unlikely someone still wishes
to maintain it.
Remove the DSP and support code.

This is more spec-compliant because it does not rely
on dead-code elimination by the compiler. Especially
MSVC has problems with this, as can be seen in
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-May/296373.html
or

This commit does not eliminate every instance where we rely
on dead code elimination: It only tackles branching to
the initialization of arch-specific dsp code, not e.g. all
uses of CONFIG_ and HAVE_ checks. But maybe it is already
enough to compile FFmpeg with MSVC with whole-programm-optimizations
enabled (if one does not disable too many components).

These have mostly been added because of FF_API_*; yet when these were
removed, removing the header has been forgotten.

It is only (mis-)used to set the dsp fucntions clear_block(s). But
these functions always work on 16bits-wide elements, which make
the parameter useless and actually harmful, as it causes all content
on more than 8-bits to not use accelerated functions.
