[PATCH] ARM: remove 'i' and 'zi' targets

These two were introduced by commit 13d5fadf45d1 ("[ARM] Make 'i' and
'zi' targets work") to short-circuit the dependencies for 'install'
and 'zinstall'.

After that, commit 19514fc665ff ('arm, kbuild: make "make install"
not depend on vmlinux') eventually made "make (z)install" equivalent
to "make (z)i".

It is true that 'i' and 'zi' might be still useful as shorthands
but the original intention had been already lost.

They do not even show up in "make ARCH=arm help", so I hope this
deletion does not have much impact.
