Tidy: remove unused stuff

Status: in progress

Things that can be removed:

• tests/glibc-tests (test code from glibc). Making this work outside the glibc build tree turned out not to be viable.

• patches directory

The old separate glibc build process (pre-Story6) can be removed:

• remove a lot of make.sh

• src/make-libc-map.pl

• src/get-export-syms.pl -- Used for making preload library.
• src/export-renames.pl -- Used for making preload library, but most of it could be removed. The concept of renaming symbols in object files is no longer needed.

• src/symbol-info.pl

• build-glibc.sh

• the branched debian-* directories; only debian-template is now needed

• remove GLIBC_BUILD_TYPE and GLIBC_VERSION from configure.in

• remove support from BuildTools
