package/aufs{-util}: remove package

Remove support for aufs, as it is outdated and unmaintained in Buildroot.
Users are encouraged to use overlayfs in place of aufs.

This patch removes support for aufs package providing sources for
the kernel extension, the related Buildroot kernel extension configuration,
as well as the userspace utilities.

This also allows to remove some special cases in configuration utilities.
