OpenEmu/OpenEmu — Issue #108: Git repository shrinkage

Remove large unused files from the git repository (UI Mockups, libsnes.a, old XADMaster, old .dmgs, etc). This will make checkouts ~50% smaller/faster.

Kind of hard though, it requires history rewrites (downstream forks will be broken and everyone will need to re-checkout) and some changes will make very old commits unbuildable and therefore only good as reference. I don't think this is a problem.
