Description
Deprecate the Windows 32-bit x86 port, with the intent to remove it in a future release.

The Windows 32-bit x86 Port has been deprecated for future removal. Vendors will be able to continue to compile JDK21 on this system using the `--enable-deprecated-ports=yes` configure flag but it is expected that parts of this port will be removed in future versions of the JDK.
