Linux Emulation goes to the great bitbucket of the sky

Contributed by phessler on from the ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster dept.

It's been a long time coming, but Linux Emulation is going away. 

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	ports
Changes by:	naddy@cvs.openbsd.org	2016/02/26 09:05:12

Modified files:
	emulators      : Makefile 
	games          : Makefile 

Log message:
Linux emulation is going away, unhook the Fedora userland and the last
port depending on it

Only useful on i386, with a super-old userland port available; Goodbye sweet COMPAT_LINUX, we hardly knew ye.

naddy@ also sent in a patch that fully removes COMPAT_LINUX from the tree, which is expected to land soon.
