Usage of current R1 ISA is inconsistent with the MIPS32 subtarget, little
used and has limited utility for testing.
Many distros target a minimum R2 ISA. Debian MIPS 32-bit/64-bit ports all
use MIPS R2 ISA since Stretch, for example. Fedora's MIPS arch also targets
the R2 ISA for 32-bit/64-bit.
Widely used MIPS64 platforms like Octeon are based on the MIPS R2 ISA or
later, and benefit from having a compatible test platform in OpenWRT.
While Linux does support MIPS64 R1 targets, its usefulness for development
and testing is limited. As an example, the modern Linux eBPF JIT requires
a MIPS R2 ISA or later.

The malta "be" and "le" subtargets share the arch with many devices of
ar71xx and ramips. They can be handy for testing, debugging, trying
both snapshot and release builds.
This commit makes the "be" subtarget part of the ci and release builds

These two subtargets are used to build a 64-bit malta kernel along with
64-bit userland support.
