These broadcast styles were introduced in response to #23939 (comment) as a way to limit the "greediness" of Sparse's broadcasting implementation -- sparse only wanted to allow known combinations of array types (including Array but not any AbstractArray). The idea was to allow us to gradually improve the sparse broadcast implementation over 1.x in a non-breaking manner. Unfortunately, these special styles for Array make defining new styles in the heirarchy a bit of a pain (ref. #23939 (comment)), and it was making my life harder in getting the 1.0 breaking changes in.
This commit removes these special broadcast styles in favor of just having Sparse identify the cases itself and re-dispatch back into the default implementation in the cases it doesn't know how to handle.
