Remove dead and broken EmbeddedDatabases configuration

As found out in 98c0b20864af965c3bb99a32f8ea57be7402e534 "Make Firebird the
(unconditional) default for new databases":  "(Curiously,
ODsnTypeCollection::getEmbeddedDatabase would read a DefaultEmbeddedDatabase
value from the configuration before resorting to the hardcoded default, but
`git log -SDefaultEmbeddedDatabase` makes it look like there has never been any
code to actually write that setting.)"

Digging deeper, the story appears to be as follows:  First, "INTEGRATION: CWS
hsqldb" commits in 2004 had addded the EmbeddedDatabases group (and accompanying
templates) to officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcs
(ee11cb6373f6bbb28b1cdf57daa73465d030fda5), corresponding values (for HSQLDB)
to officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcu
(60c5f0af740265ab81b620208205fe9e74be452f), and code to read those values
(lcl_getEmbeddedDatabase in dbaccess/source/ui/misc/dsntypes.cxx;
ODsnTypeCollection::getEmbeddedDatabaseURL et al in
dbaccess/source/ui/misc/dsntypes.cxx; all
a68938bc908c8f852912f3310d2f4bec779a3cea).  This looks like it actually worked.

Then, "INTEGRATION: CWS dba24b" commits in 2007 removed the EmbeddedDatabases
configuration data from
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcu
(473a3ccf63cc36ac3fa992dcb72d581496cb1bbf, "during #i80930#: The approach to
read the concrete type of the embedded DB from the configuration does not work,
there are enough places where we silently assume 'embedded == embedded HSQLDB'")
and removed the code reading it (79bbd382beb13a8f4031cc9b61332d0794878699), but
left the EmbeddedDatabases schema data in
officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcs untouched.

Then, b88a62cc97613e5dc00c806f59982cb57f9d1dc8 "CWS-TOOLING: integrate CWS
dbaperf2" in 2009 reintroduced code that attempts to read the configuration data
as ODsnTypeCollection::getEmbeddedDatabase
(dbaccess/source/core/misc/dsntypes.cxx).  The reason for that may be
"2009-05-06 14:22:21 +0200 oj  r271589 : #i101587# use config for the drivers"
as listed in the commit message.  The code added as
ODsnTypeCollection::getEmbeddedDatabase back then remained effectively unchanged
until today, but looks fundamentally broken:  It starts out with trying to read
an /org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess/EmbeddedDatabases/DefaultEmbeddedDatabase/
Value property that can never be present per the schema (an
/org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess/EmbeddedDatabases/DefaultEmbeddedDatabase
property could be); so no data is ever actually read from the configuration by
ODsnTypeCollection::getEmbeddedDatabase.  (And the commit also didn't add back
any configuration data to
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcu that could have
been read in the first place, nor any code to generate such data
programmatically.)

So remove the broken code to read configuration data from
ODsnTypeCollection::getEmbeddedDatabase (which means it can be a static member
function now) and also remove the obviously unused EmbeddedDatabases group (and
accompanying templates) from
officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcs.
