[PATCH] [Polly] Remove the PoCC and ScopLib support

[Johannes Doerfert]

That was a bit too late, I just commited the initial patch. However, I
was going to add another one to adjust the html link anyway.

If you'd like you could add a patch where you write all that and point
to the right commit. Is that ok?
