There seems to be concensus on removing SWIG, so I've made a patch to
remove support in CHICKEN 5.  Find it attached.

If I understand correctly, there is no need to deprecate it first
because nobody is using it (and CHICKEN 5 breaks backwards compat
anyway), and there are no bootstrapping issues because CHICKEN itself
never generated calls to the SWIG C functions in the first place.

Cheers,
Peter
