boot/gummiboot: remove package

Browse Source 
The gummiboot package currently fails to build due to incompatibilies
with recent versions of the gnu-efi code.

It turns out that gummiboot has been marked deprecated/obsolete by its
maintainer since July 2015:

  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gummiboot/commit/?id=55df1539c9d330732e88bd196afee386db6e4a1d&utm_source=anzwix

Indeed, gummiboot ended up being integrated as part of systemd as
systemd-boot. While it made sense for a while to keep it as a separate
standalone package, it is not possible to maintain it in Buildroot
without an active upstream, and there are other options for simple EFI
bootloaders these days.

Therefore, let's retire this package.
