No more ~sparc-fbsd.
I've discussed this with Diego and Roy today, the only 2 persons who had
such systems. The end result was that there's no developers for the
arch, and we can let it die. It was a nice experiment but didn't fly.

So in conclusion I've removed the profiles from profiles.desc, so
repoman won't complain about it.

All this spawned from the fact that dev-lang/python is now using
external toolchain package, dev-libs/libffi, which nobody can test. So,
if you can't have libffi, you can't have python and you can't have portage.

Scratch that. Reverted. Repoman is way too loud with it removed. Let's
simply remove it where seen in slow pace.
