remove unsupported nonstandard sysconf macros and their table entries

some of these may have been from ancient (pre-SUSv2) POSIX versions;
more likely, they were from POSIX drafts or glibc interpretations of
what ancient versions of POSIX should have added (instead they made
they described functionality mandatory and/or dropped it completely).
others are purely glibc-isms, many of them ill-thought-out, like
providing ways to lookup the min/max values of types at runtime
(despite the impossibility of them changing at runtime and the
impossibility of representing ULONG_MAX in a return value of type
long).

since our sysconf implementation does not support or return meaningful
values for any of these, it's harmful to have the macros around;
applications' build scripts may detect and attempt to use them, only
to get -1/EINVAL as a result.

if removing them does break some applications, and it's determined
that the usage was reasonable, some of these could be added back on an
as-needed basis, but they should return actual meaningful values, not
junk like they were returning before.
