They are not temporary tests, we'll keep the tests, but they won't
change.  We also keep these pre-generated target descriptions, as legacy
target descriptions, for the tests.  Once we finish the target
description transition, we can move these pre-generated target
descriptions into testsuite/ directory.

Note that, after we finish the change for a given architecture, all
target descriptions are dynamically generated, so there is no new
pre-generated target description, and we don't update the tests.
