[patch] Remove MCPureStreamer

[Tom Stellard]

Hi Rafael,

I think R600 may have been the last in tree target to use this, and even
though it was useful to be able to stream instructions directly to
memory without using an object format, as I recall it was a little hard
to get working and it was missing some features (as mentioned in the
comment).

I am in favor of removing this, because I don't think this was being
maintained and you can get the same functionality with lots of bonus
features by using the ElfStreamer and then having your application or
library that is using LLVM extract the instructions from the binary
using libelf.  This is what we are currently doing with the R600
backend.

Anyway, LGTM.

-Tom
