archs38 seems to be pretty much unused, usually only treewide changes or
kernel bumps in order to branch off new stable are done to it.

Considering that target only support some Synopsis HS38 ARC reference
boards and no consumer hardware so mark the target as source-only to stop
using Buildbot resources on building the target and packages for it.

One benefit of building archs38 is that it's glibc, which is somewhat
supported with OpenWrt.

We discussed this on the IRC with Hauke and others, and it would be
more beneficial
to have an x86 glibc target.

That unlike archs38 would probably have an active user-base, cause
currently other
than making sure it compiles archs38 doesnt really provide any
feedback on whether
glibc actually works as expected.

Just a friendly ping, to see if there are any objections against this.
