README: PS5_RPCS3 is gone, and so is every RPCS3 part

Browse Source 
The owner deleted the PS5_RPCS3 repository and has discontinued the
PS3 port (the v0.6.7-alpha.6 release note says why). The README no
longer names RPCS3 anywhere:
- the PlayStation 3 build-it-yourself section;
- the PS5_RPCS3 and PS5_LLVM fork links;
- the PS5_WITH_RPCS3 notes in the build overview and in the build-script
  list;
- the BIOS-alert exclusion;
- the supported-systems paragraph;
- the credits row;
- the licence paragraph and its table row.
Not pushed: the release waits for the owner's review.

### PlayStation 3 (RPCS3): build it yourself
No release of this title carries RPCS3, and none will while its licence stands
as it does: RPCS3 is **GPL-2.0-only**, and the title it runs in is
**GPL-3.0-or-later** (this port's runtime is linked into the core, and the core
runs against the title's GPL-3.0 platform code), so the two cannot be handed
out together as one program. What is public is the source: my fork
[PS5_RPCS3](https://github.com/mihawk-99/PS5_RPCS3) and this repository's build
scripts. **If you want RPCS3, you must compile it yourself**, for your own
console:
```bash
PS5_WITH_RPCS3=1 bash tools/build-title.sh # your own build: the frontend, every core and RPCS3
```
Leave `PS5_RELEASE_TAG` unset: a plain build leaves RPCS3 out, a release build
(`PS5_RELEASE_TAG=...`) refuses `PS5_WITH_RPCS3=1`, and `tools/check-notices.py --release` refuses a title with any
RPCS3 file in it. Build the whole title, not the core alone: the title's native
import table is made from the cores it is built with, so a release title cannot
load an RPCS3 core built on its own. `tools/build-rpcs3.sh` builds only the
core (from PS5_RPCS3, with LLVM from my fork PS5_LLVM, at their pinned
revisions), for work on it.
Keep what you build for your own console: **do not share, upload or
redistribute the binaries you build.** RPCS3 needs your own copy of the PS3
system software (`PS3UPDAT.PUP`, from Sony's official PS3 system software
update page) in `system/RPCS3/`, where it installs on the first start, and
your own games: a disc you own, dumped yourself, or a PSN purchase with its
`.rap` licence file. Piracy is not condoned.
