Auto merge of #47251 - rkruppe:rm-simd-attr, r=eddyb

Remove deprecated unstable attribute #[simd]

The `#[simd]` attribute has been deprecated since c8b6d5b2 back in 2015. Any nightly crates using it have had ample time to switch to `#[repr(simd)]`, and if they didn't they're likely broken by now anyway.
