[c-nsp] ASR 99xx IOS-XR images are all EoL/EoS?

5.3.4 was the last release that supported Trident line cards [1], but since ASR 9001 is based on Typhoon [2] it should be supported until 2020 [3].
But apparently they have not added ASR9001 to the EoL/EoS announcement yet [4].

And since the ASR 9001 is based upon Typhoon it will not be support 64 bits IOS-XR (Tomahawk and newer) either unfortunately.
