Remove Build2 build system

Every so often I get very enthusiastic about Build2, with its tightly integrated package management, amazing CI and (at one time) leading support for modules. Unfortunately, soon after, reality sets in, and the impregnable buildscript syntax, steep learning curve and lack of IDE support means I go back to using CMake. So it was when I was first starting Flux -- I added Build2 support alongside CMake. Since then, I haven't really touched it and it's highly unlikely it works today. We really shouldn't pretend to support something that is completely unmaintained and probably doesn't work, so let's remove it. If someone wants to add Build2 support again later and commit to maintaining it, I'd be happy to accept pull requests.
