Title: DEP: remove deprecated umfpack wrapper.  Closes gh-3002.

Executive summary:
- this is due to license issues, UMFPACK changed from a BSD-compatible license
to GPL a long time ago.
- this solves install issues; SWIG was always an undocumented build-time
dependency if UMFPACK was installed on a system.
- scikits.umfpack was lost, but @rc is about to revive it.
