[pet] PET code / modules to delete because unsupported or unused

[Bernd Kiefer]

Hi all,

one more step towards a leaner and cleaner PET has been done: the list
of obsolete or deprecated modules has been removed, and the whole ECL
support with it. If there's still problems with MRS creation, i'm sure
Yi will happily jump in to resolve them. For the PIC users, moving to
FSC should be easy, the functionality is the same, rather better.

Now please can everybody check that what's in the NG branch now works
as expected, then we could proceed to the next steps.

Best,
	Bernd
