pgsql: Remove dead ports

Remove dead ports

Checking this patch, I noticed that config.guess and config.sub harbor
most of the remaining references to those platforms, which reminded me:
don't we usually update those files from autoconf upstream before beta?

Yes, once we know when beta is, we can move on that. ;-)

Btw., I had intentionally kept the uses in ps_status.c and getrusage.c,
because they remain useful in case someone wants to use these files for
reference. But I guess that's debatable, because we no longer have a
way to prove that those uses actually continue to work.

Next week, I thought.

How are we handling the Monday release with everyone at PGCon? Was that
resolved?

I looked at that because they have 'bsdi' references too. Is that file
auto-generated, and the references are not ours but autoconf's? There
are a lot of platforms there we never supported, e.g.
Night_Hawk:Power_UNIX.

I have yet to see a confirmed date, guys. If we expect any support from
the packagers and/or the advocacy volunteers, then people need at least
a week's notice, probably more.

I haven't seen anybody positively say we can't do a wrap next Thursday
and release Monday, so I've been assuming that's what will happen.
If there are reasons to think it won't work, let's hear 'em now.
