[API CHANGE] Remove deprecated idlc and regmerge from the SDK

* Client code must replace uses of idlc and regmerge with uses of unoidl-write,
see the changes to odk/examples/ and ure/source/uretext/ in
40f2aee6584eafcf4cd1d95fcf1f775e5435440d "Provide unoidl-write also for the
SDK" for examples.

* The new types.rdb format is not compatible with LibreOffice < 4.1.  Clients
generating extensions containing such files are advised to use appropriate
LibreOffice-minimal-version elements.

* For compatibility with old extensions, reading the legacy types.rdb format is
still supported.

* The SDK no longer ships an idl/ sub-directory containing the udkap and offapi
.idl files (as, unlike idlc, unoidl-write does not need them).
odk/config/cfgWin.js had to be adapted to look (somewhat arbitrarily) for an
examples/ sub-directory instead of idl/ when checking for "an sdk folder".
gb_UnoApi_package_idlfiles became unused and has been removed.

* The idlc and regmerge executables have been removed.  Module idlc has been
removed except for idlc/test/parser/, which is also used by
CustomTarget_unoidl/unoidl-write_test, and which may eventually be moved into
module unoidl.  Module external/ucpp and the corresponding configure options
have also been removed.
