BUILD: remove the obsolete BSD and OSX makefiles
These makefiles were aging, with no support for SSL nor zlib, and
they were hard to maintain. GNU make is packaged and provided with
all systems which were relying on these makefiles, so better simply
delete them and enable the new features for everyone.

To build haproxy, you will need :
- GNU make. Neither Solaris nor OpenBSD's make work with the GNU Makefile.
- However, specific Makefiles for BSD and OSX are provided.
+ If you get many syntax errors when running "make", you may want to retry

- GCC between 2.91 and 4.7. Others may work, but not tested.
